 they said almughira bin abdullah bin abi uqayl althaqafi3 while he was in kufa had a kid that was placed on his table after eating. no one would touch it as he himself would not touch it. one day a bedouin approached him and he did not know the way our companions treated him so he refused to eat his meat until his bones were sweating. almughira said to him o man are you demanding the bones of this kid for a slaughter? did his mother butt you? alasmai used to say he only said o man are you demanding the bones of this wretch for a slaughter? did his mother butt you?
قالوا كان للمغيرة بن عبد الله بن أبي عقيل الثقفي ٣ ، وهو على الكوفة، جدي يوضع على مائدته بعد الطعام. ولم يكن أحد يمسه، إذ كان هو لا يمسه. فأقدم عليه إعرابي يوما، ولم يعرف سيرة أصحابنا فيه، فلم يرض بأكل لحمه، حتى تعرق عظمه. فقال له المغيرة يا هذا، تطالب عظام هذا الجدي بذحل ٤ ؟ هل نطحتك أمة ؟ وكان الأصمعي يقول إنما قال يا هذا تطالب عظام هذا البائس بذحل؟ هل نطحتك أمه ؟
