Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Malik bin Mughul narrates that a man passed by Rabee’ bin Rashid, who was sitting near a cobblers’ stall. That man said to him, “It would be good if you go to the mosque and converse with your Muslim brothers.” Hazrat Rabee’ replied to him, “If the remembrance of death departs from my heart even for a moment, I think my heart would become corrupted.”
