Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38341 — Reports on weeping out of fear

Hisham (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father: When Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) became caliph, people's lower garments were nothing but plain sheets, and their upper wraps too were nothing but striped sheets. One of them would say to another: "My sheet is better than your sheet."
