1184 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; Ibn Numayr narrated to us; Hafs ibn Ghiyath narrated to us, from al-Aʿmash: Shurayḥ once passed by a group who were playing on the day of ʿEid and said, “This is not what a person with free time has been instructed to do.” He also related that a beggar once came to him, whereupon he said, “Sit down; you are nothing but a trader.”
١١٨٤ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، أَنَّ شُرَيْحًا، مَرَّ عَلَى قَوْمٍ يَلْعَبُونَ يَوْمَ عِيدٍ فَقَالَ: مَا بِهَذَا أُمِرَ الْفَارِغُ، وَقَالَ جَاءَ سَائِلٌ إِلَى شُرَيْحٍ فَقَالَ: اجْلِسْ إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ تَاجِرٌ.
