Musannaf Ibn Abi Shayba 33:47

'Affan narrated to us, he said: Hammad bin Salamah narrated to us, from 'Ata' bin al-Sa'ib, from 'Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla, from Abu al-Darda', who said: A son of Sulayman bin Dawud died, and he grieved over him intensely, until that was recognized in him and in his judgment. Then one day, two angels appeared before him as litigants. One of them said: "I sowed seeds, and when they grew strong and were ready for harvest, this one passed by them and destroyed them." He (Sulayman) said to the other: "What do you say?" He replied: "He spoke the truth. I took the road, and I came upon a crop, and I looked to the right and to the left, and behold, the road was upon it, so I took the road." Sulayman said to the other: "Why did you sow on the road? Did you not know that the path of the people is upon the road?" He said: "O Sulayman, then why do you grieve over your son, while you know that you are going to die, and that the path of the people is toward the Hereafter?"
