Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5365 — he was picking a tooth-stick (miswak)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ بَهْدَلَةَ ، عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَجْنِي لِرَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - سِوَاكًا مِنْ أَرَاكٍ ، وَكَانَتْ تَكْفَؤُهُ الرِّيحُ ، فَكَانَ فِي سَاقَيْهِ دِقَّةٌ ، فَضَحِكَ الْقَوْمُ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : مَا يُضْحِكُكُمْ ؟ قَالُوا : دِقَّةُ سَاقَيْهِ ، قَالَ : وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، لَهُمَا أَثْقَلُ فِي الْمِيزَانِ مِنْ أُحُدٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was picking a tooth-stick (miswak) for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) from an arak (peelu) tree. His body was so frail that the wind was swaying him to and fro, and his shins were very thin, at which the people laughed. The Prophet (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 is my soul, these two (shins) are heavier in the Scale than Mount Uhud."
