abu mashair narrated on the authority of his father on the authority of khalid bin amr alkalbi who said we were with abu barzah alaslamish on a military expedition and there was a man among us who used to buy food for us and take care of our needs. when he came we would say may allah reward you with good. he became angry because of our supplication so we complained about that to abu barzah. abu barzah said we used to hear that whoever is not reformed by good evil reforms him so turn to him. so we would say to him when he came to us with our needs may allah reward you with evil and shame and he would laugh at that.
حدثنا أبو مسهر عن أبيه عن خالد بن عمرو الكلبي قال كنا مع أبي برزة الأسلمش في غزاة، فكان منا رجل يمتار لنا الميرة ويقوم بحوائجنا، فإذا أقبل قلنا جزاك الله خيرا. فغضب لدعائنا، فشكونا ذلك إلى أبي برزة، فقال أبو برزة كنا نسمع أن من لم يصلحه الخير أصلحه الشر، فاقلبوا له. فكنا نقول له إذا أتانا بالحوائج جزاك الله شرا وعرا، فيضحك لذلك.
