Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38075 — Sayings of Tawus

Tawus said: I have not seen anything like a person who feels secure about himself. I have seen a man of whom, if it were said to me, "Who is the best person you know?", I would have said, "So-and-so", meaning that man. He remained in that state; then a pain seized him in his belly, and something of it afflicted him.
Note: The rest of this report of Tawus could not be made clear. Muhammad Awwamah, the editor of Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah, says in his footnote to this report: "The meaning of the remainder of the report is not clear to me."
