Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37688 — Habib Abu Salamah

It is narrated from Abu Salamah that the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were neither stingy nor did they put on a deathly show of frailty in devotion. They would recite poetry in their gatherings and recall the affairs of the time of ignorance. But when something was sought from any one of them in a matter of his religion, his eyelids would roll as though he were mad.
