Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38284 — Reports on weeping out of fear

Wahb bin Munabbih said: There were among the Children of Israel some young men who were obscure among them. They read the Book and acquired knowledge, and they began to seek wealth and honour through their reading of it. And it was they who began this innovation. In return for it they sought honour and wealth in this world. So they themselves went astray and led others astray.
