[Machine] There was a peacock praying on a cold, cloudy morning when Muhammad ibn Yusuf Abu Ayyub ibn Yahya passed by him. The peacock ordered a servant or groom to throw something on him, and he did not lift his head until he finished his business. When he finished, he looked and saw the servant on him, so he jumped and did not look at him and went to his house.  

كَانَ طَاوُسٌ يُصَلِّي فِي غَدَاةٍ بَارِدَةٍ مُغِيمَةٍ فَمَرَّ بِهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ بْنُ يَحْيَى وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ فِي مَوْكِبِهِ فَأَمَرَ بِسَاجٍ أَوْ طَيْلَسَانٍ فَطُرِحَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرْفَعْ رَأْسَهُ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ حَاجَتِهِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ نَظَرَ فَإِذَا السَّاجُ عَلَيْهِ فَانْتَفَضَ وَلَمْ يَنْظُرْ إِلَيْهِ وَمَضَى إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ
