Hadith 17:503
Mu'adh ibn Mu'adh narrated to us, from Ibn 'Awn, who said: I passed by 'Amir al-Sha'bi while he was sitting in his courtyard. I said, "How are you?" He replied, "Shurayh, when it was said to him, 'How are you?', would say, 'In [a state of] blessing,' and he would extend his index finger toward the sky."
حدثنا معاذ بن معاذ عن بن عون قال مررت بعامر الشعبي وهو جالس بفنائه فقلت كيف أنت فقال كان شريح إذا قيل له كيف أنت قال بنعمة ومد إصبعه السبابة إلى السماء
