Musannaf Ibn Abi Shayba 33:1435

Ghundar narrated to us, from Shu'bah, who said: I heard Abu Ma'shar, who narrates from Ibrahim, narrating from Ibrahim, who said: There is no village except that there is in it someone through whom [Allah] repels [calamity] from its people. And I truly hope that Abu Wa'il is one of them.
