Al-Wara'Ibn Abi al-Dunya

208 – Muḥammad ibn Hārūn narrated to me, saying: “News reached me from Bishr ibn al-Ḥārith that Yūsuf ibn Asbāṭ, when asked about a man from whom a soldier borrows dirhams and later returns them, was asked, ‘What should he do with them?’ He replied, ‘Sweep the privies with them and plaster the rooftops with them.’”

٢٠٨ - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ: بَلَغَنِي عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ: قَالَ يُوسُفُ بْنُ أَسْبَاطٍ فِي الرَّجُلِ يَسْتَقْرِضُ مِنْهُ الْجُنْدِيُّ الدَّرَاهِمَ فَيَرُدَّهَا عَلَيْهِ مَا يَصْنَعُ بِهَا قَالَ: «يَكْنُسُ بِهَا الْحُشُوشَ وَيُطَيِّنُ بِهَا السُّطُوحَ»
