Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 7949 — A man who leads people in prayer

Abu Iyas Mu'awiyah bin Qurrah says: I was staying as a guest with Amr bin al-Nu'man bin Muqarrin. When the month of Ramadan came, a man came to him from Mus'ab bin al-Zubayr with two thousand dirhams and said: The Amir sends you greetings of peace and says: We have given this gift from ourselves to every honoured reciter; meet your needs this month with this money. Amr said to him: Convey our greetings of peace to your Amir and tell him as well: By Allah, we did not recite the Qur'an to gain the world. Saying this, he returned the money to him.
