Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Ghalib bin Ajrad that he says: I and my companion came to Hazrat Abu Abdullah bin Amr while he was narrating (hadith) to the people. He asked, "Who are you both?" They replied, "We are from the people of Basra." He said, "The adjoining areas of Basra are obligatory upon you both." When the people left him, we came closer to him and asked, "What is your opinion about your statement (where are you from) and your statement that the adjoining areas of Basra are obligatory upon you?" He replied, "Indeed, the houses of Basra and its surroundings, when they become filled, are shared among the inhabitants there." Thabit, the narrator, says that whenever Ghalib bin Ajrad entered a spacious place, he would run until he exited from it.
