he had raised his hand and did not wait for anyone else. that is why abu alharith jammin said when he saw him not touching it this is what was paid for. had he not seen people doing that he would not have said what he said. they used to avoid the egg of the bugle and each one of them would leave it for his companion so much so that the bowl used to hold the eggs in place. and today if you wanted to enjoy your eyes with just one look at it or at the eggs of the sala you would not be able to do so. there is no doubt that many people left it and they were nothing but partners in the one whose care was bad.
لقد كان رفع يده ولم ينتظر غيره. ولذلك قال أبو الحارث جمين، حين رآه لا يمس هذا المدفوع عنه . ولولا أنه على ذلك شاهد الناس، لما قال ما قال. ولقد كانوا يتحامون بيضة البقيلة ١ ، ويدعها كل واحد منهم لصاحبه حتى أن القصعة ٢ لقد كانت ترفع البيض خاصة لعلى حاله وأنت اليوم إذا أردت أن تمتع عينك بنظرة واحدة منها، ومن بيض السلاءة ٣ لم تقدر على ذلك. لا جرم لقد كان تركه ناس كثير، ما بهم إلا أن يكونوا شركاء من ساءت رعته.
