Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40518 — Reports on Uthman (may Allah be)

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amir bin Shahr (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard one statement from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and one statement from al-Najashi. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Look to the people of Quraysh: listen to their words and leave their deeds." He said: I was with al-Najashi when a son of his came from school and recited a verse of the Gospel, then explained it, and I laughed. Al-Najashi said: "Are you laughing because of the Book of Allah? Listen, by Allah, it is indeed written in the Book that Allah Almighty sent down to Isa that the curse of Allah Almighty will be upon this earth when its rulers are children (young boys)."
