Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40187 — Those who disliked going out during

It is narrated from Rabi'ah bin Jawshan that he said: I went to the region of Syria and attended the gathering of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both). He asked: "From whom are you?" We said: "From the people of Basrah." He said: "O people of Basrah, make preparations." We said: "With what?" He said: "With provisions and water-skins. The best wealth today is camels on which a man carries his family and on which he brings grain, and the best wealth is a horse with strong hooves (this is the best wealth nowadays). By Allah, soon the Banu Qantura' will drive you out of Basrah until they bring you to Rukbah." The narrator said: We said: "Who are the Banu Qantura'?" He said: "In the Book I find it like this, and as for the description, it is the description of the Turks."
