Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39975 — Those who disliked going out during

It is narrated from Yusayr bin Amr that he said: We accompanied Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) to see him off when he set out. He dismounted on the road to al-Qadisiyyah, entered a garden, and relieved himself. Then he performed ablution and wiped over his socks. Then he came out while drops of water were dripping from his beard. We said to him: "Give us some advice, for the people have fallen into tribulations, and we do not know whether we will meet you again or not." He said: "Fear Allah and be patient until a righteous man finds rest, or rest is found from a wicked one. And hold fast to the Jama'ah, for undoubtedly Allah Almighty will not gather the Ummah of Muhammad upon misguidance."
