Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38480 — the first to do a thing, and who did
٣٨٤٨٠ - حدثنا جرير عن مغيرة عن الشعبي عن عثمان بن يسار عن تميم بن (حَذْلَم) (١) قال: أول (ما) (٢) سلم على أمير بالكوفة بالإمرة، قال: خرج المغيرة بن شعبة من القصر فعرض له رجل من كندة فسلم عليه بالإمرة، فقال: ما هذا؟ ما أنا إلا رجل منهم، فتركت زمانا ثم أقرها بعد (٣).
Tamim bin Hadhlam said: This was the first time a governor of Kufah was greeted with the greeting of governorship. It happened that Sayyiduna al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) came out of the palace, and a man from the tribe of Kindah greeted him with the greeting of governorship. He expressed his displeasure at this and said: "What is this? I am only a man from among you." This kind of greeting was then abandoned for a time, but afterwards he accepted it.
