Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37840 — Amir bin Abd Qays

It is narrated from Sahm bin Shaqiq that he said: I came to Amir bin Abd Qays and sat at his door. He came out having taken a ritual bath, so I said: I think you like the ritual bath. He said: Sometimes I take a ritual bath. Then he asked: What do you need? I said: Love of hadith. He said: Is this your impression of me, that I love hadith?
