Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37606 — The words of Masruq
٣٧٦٠٦ - حدثنا أبو أسامة عن الأعمش (عن مسلم) (١) عن مسروق قال: لما قدم من السلسلة أتاه أهل الكوفة وأتاه ناس من التجار، فجعلوا يثنون عليه ويقولون: جزاك اللَّه خيرا، ما كان (أعفك) (٢) عن أموالنا، فقرأ هذه الآية: ﴿(أَفَمَنْ) (٣) وَعَدْنَاهُ وَعْدًا حَسَنًا فَهُوَ لَاقِيهِ كَمَنْ مَتَّعْنَاهُ مَتَاعَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا﴾ [القصص: ٦١].
It is narrated about Masruq that when he returned from the place called Silsilah, the people of Kufah came to him, and merchants came to him, and they began to praise him, saying: "May Allah Almighty give you the best reward. How free of need you were from our wealth!" At this he recited this verse: "Is he whom We have promised a good promise, which he will obtain, like him whom We have given the enjoyment of the life of this world?" [Al-Qasas: 61]
