Musannaf Ibn Abi Shayba 17:1145

Abu Mu’awiyah narrated to us, from al-A’mash, from Jami’ ibn Shaddad, from al-Aswad ibn Hilal, who said: ‘Abdullah was brought a scroll containing a hadith. He called for water, erased it, and then washed it. Then he ordered it to be burned. Then he said: "I adjure by Allah any man who knows of it being with anyone, that he inform me of it. By Allah, if I knew it were in the land of India, I would travel to it. It was by this that the People of the Book before you perished; they cast the Book of Allah behind their backs as if they did not know."
