alkhalil said althawri had a fever and his family and servant had a fever and they were unable to eat bread due to the severity of the fever. he made a profit by measuring flour in those days and was happy about that and said if my house were the market of ahwaz or the natat of khaybar or the valley of aljuhfah i would hope to have a hundred dinars left over every year. so he did not mind if he and his family had a fever ever after he had made enough flour to suffice them.
قال الخليل حم الثوري، وحم عياله وخادمه، فلم يقدروا مع شدة الحمى على أكل الخبز، فربح كيلة تلك الأيام من الدقيق، ففرح بذلك وقال لو كان منزلي سوق الأهواز أو نطاة خيبر ٥ أو وادي الجحفة ٦ ، لرجوت أن استفضل كل سنة مائة دينار. فكان لا يبالي أن يحم هو وأهله أبدا، بعد أن يستفضل كفايتهم من الدقيق.
