حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، أَنَّ الطُّفَيْلَ بْنَ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَأْتِي عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ فَيَغْدُو مَعَهُ إِلَى السُّوقِ، قَالَ: فَإِذَا غَدَوْنَا إِلَى السُّوقِ لَمْ يَمُرَّ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَلَى سَقَّاطٍ، وَلاَ صَاحِبِ بَيْعَةٍ، وَلاَ مِسْكِينٍ، وَلاَ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ.

Al-Tufayl ibn Ubayy ibn Ka‘b reported that he used to visit Abdullah ibn Umar and go with him in the morning to the market. He said: Whenever we went to the market, Abdullah ibn Umar would not pass by any petty seller, shopkeeper, poor person, or anyone else without greeting them.

سَقَّاطٍ
The word refers to a petty seller/trader, not a rubbish collector.
Should “rubbish collector” be corrected to “petty seller”?
