Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38354 — Reports on weeping out of fear

Damrah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Abu Rayhanah (may Allah be pleased with him) was posted on garrison duty in al-Jazirah, at Mayyafariqin. He bought a rope there for a few coins from a Nabataean, one of its inhabitants. When he was returning and they had reached al-Rastan, he got down from his mount and said to his slave: Did you pay that Nabataean his coins? He replied: No. So he took out some spending money from his provisions, gave it to his slave, and said to his companions: Help him well with his mounts until I reach my family. They asked: O Abu Rayhanah, what do you intend? He replied: I intend to go to my creditor and discharge my trust. So he set off until he reached Mayyafariqin, and he came to his family only after he had paid his creditor.
