152 – Khalid ibn Khidash narrated to us; he said: Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us, from ʿAli ibn Zayd, who said:
Bishr ibn Kaʿb would often say, “Come, let me show you the true nature of this world.” He would bring them to the marketplace—which on that day was a rubbish heap—and say, “Look at their chickens, ⦗77⦘ their ducks, and their fruits.”
١٥٢ - وَحَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ خِدَاشٍ، نا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ بُشَيْرُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ كَثِيرًا مَا يَقُولُ: انْطَلِقُوا حَتَّى أُرِيَكُمُ الدُّنْيَا. قَالَ: فَيَجِيءُ بِهِمْ إِلَى السُّوقِ وَهِيَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مَزْبَلَةٌ، فَيَقُولُ: انْظُرُوا إِلَى دَجَاجِهِمْ، ⦗٧٧⦘ وَبَطِّهِمْ، وَثِمَارِهِمْ
