Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Hafsa bint Sirin that she says Hazrat Muwarriq used to come to meet us. So one day he came to meet us and greeted (with salam). I replied to his greeting. She says, then he asked me something and I asked him something. I asked, "How are your family members? And how are your children?" He replied, "They are well." I said, "Then you should praise your Lord." He said, "By God! I fear that perhaps they may confine me to destruction."
