Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38169 — Reports from al-Shabi

Malik bin Mighwal said: A man passed by Rabi' bin Abi Rashid while he was sitting on one of the cobblers' boxes. The man said to him: It would be good if you came to the mosque and talked with your Muslim brothers. Rabi' said to him: If the remembrance of death were to part from my heart for even a moment, I fear that my heart would be corrupted.
