 woman said to him woe to you abu alqamaqim! i have married a daytime husband and it is his time and i am not in good shape. so buy me with this loaf of bread an asa and with this fils some oil and you will be rewarded. perhaps allah will put my love in his heart and provide me through you something to live on for by allah my condition has worsened and i am exhausted. so he took them and turned them towards him. 3 she saw him after a few days and said glory be to allah! did you not have mercy on me for what you did to me? he said woe to you! by allah the fils fell from me and out of grief i ate the loaf.
وقالت له إمرأة ويحك يا أبا القماقم إني تزوجت زوجا نهاريا ١ ، والساعة وقته، وليست علي هيئة فاشتر لي بهذا الرغيف آسا ٢ ، وبهذا الفلس دهنا، فانك تؤجر. فعسى الله أن يلقي محبتي في قلبه. فيرزقني على يدك شيئا أعيش به، فقد والله ساءت حالي، وبلغ المجهود مني؛ فأخذهما وجعلها وجهه؛ ٣ فرأته بعد أيام، فقالت سبحان الله أما رحمتني مما صنعت بي؟ قال ويحك سقط والله مني الفلس، فمن الغم أكلت الرغيف.
