Abu Hafs ibn ‘Ali said: Abu ‘Asim related to us; ‘Amr ibn Wahb al-Ta’ifi related to us; Ghusayf ibn Abi Sufyan related to us, that Nafi‘ ibn ‘Asim informed him that he heard ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amr say to a nephew of his who had come from al-Waht: “Do your workers work?” He replied, “I don’t know.” He said, “If you were from Thaqif, you would know what your workers are doing.” Then he turned toward us and said: “When a man works alongside his workers in his house”—and Abu ‘Asim once said, “in his property”—“he is one of the workers of Allah, Mighty and Majestic.”
