Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5310 — he said: I was picking a miswak from an arak
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ ، عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ أَجْتَنِي لِرَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - سِوَاكًا مِنْ أَرَاكٍ ، وَكَانَ الرِّيحُ تَكْفَؤُهُ ، وَكَانَ فِي سَاقَيَّ شَيْءٌ ، فَضَحِكَ الْقَوْمُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : مَا يُضْحِكُكُمْ ؟ قَالُوا : دِقَّةُ سَاقَيْهِ ، قَالَ : وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، لَهُمَا أَثْقَلُ فِي الْمِيزَانِ مِنْ أُحُدٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I was picking a miswak from an arak tree for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the wind was tilting me this way and that (because of my thinness), and my shins were thin, at which the people laughed. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'What are you laughing at?' The people said: At the thinness of his shins. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'By the One in whose Hand my soul is! These two shins are heavier in the Scale (of deeds) than the mountain of Uhud.'"
