[Machine] They said, "Do not hasten until I bring something for you." It is said that Hakim ibn Hizam used to wear clothes that were brought from Egypt, as if they were a shroud worth four dirhams, and he would carry a staff in his hand and bring along his servant. And whenever he passed by a rag or trash, he would see in it a piece of cloth that could be used for the equipment of the camel that he carries in the path of Allah. He would take it with the end of his staff and shake it off, then he would say to his two servants, "Hold on to it, you can make use of it for your equipment." So the two Bedouins said to each other while he was doing this, "Woe to us! By Allah, this is nothing but straw picking!" And his companion said to him, "Woe to you! Do not rush, let us see." So he went out with them until he brought them to the market and looked at two noble, fat, and well-purchased camels, and he purchased them and their equipment. Then he said to his two servants, "Throw these rags to them, it is suitable for their equipment." Then he fed them and provided them with water and fodder, and gave them an allowance. Then he gave them the two camels. One of them said to his companion, "By Allah, I have never seen a better straw picker than him today."
