 resident of his had taken something such as some of the stolen goods from houses. he said to them throw some dirt tonight so that the one who took it may regret it and throw it in the dirt and not deny his coming to that place because of the large number of people who come for that purpose. so it happened that he threw the stolen thing in the dirt. they used to throw it on his sweeper and he saw it before the person from whom it was stolen saw it. so he took from him the rent for the sweeper.
وذهب من ساكن له شيء، كبعض ما يسرق من البيوت. فقال لهم اطرحوا الليلة ترابا، فعسى أن يندم من أخذه، فيلقيه في التراب، ولا ينكر مجيئه إلى ذلك المكان، لكثرة من يجيء لذلك. فاتفق أن طرح ذلك الشيء المسروق في التراب. وكانوا يطرحونه على كناسته، فرآه قبل أن يراه المسروق منه. فأخذ منه كراء الكساحة.
