Among the heedless was one who delivered the Friday sermon,
One of them stood up and said, after praising Allah and thanking Him:
O people, indeed Allah created the heavens and the earth in six months, then rose over the Throne.
The people were amazed at his words,
When he came down, they asked him: Where did you get this?
He said: I heard the reciter reading 'And We created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six days,' so I thought the days were months.
And among them was a governor over a district.
A Bedouin came to him complaining about his neighbor,
The governor said: Bring him.
When he appeared, he asked the Bedouin: What is your complaint?
He said: O my lord, my neighbor took my camel and detained it with him.
He asked the neighbor: What do you say?
He replied: Yes, my lord, his camel entered my field and ate my crops, so I detained it until its owner comes.
The governor said to the Bedouin: Go and take your camel.
The Bedouin said: He demands the price of what my camel ate.
The governor asked: How much did it eat?
The neighbor said: It ate crops worth ten dirhams.
The governor said to the Bedouin: Give him ten dirhams.
The Bedouin said: I have nothing.
The governor said: Then take the camel and give him your donkey instead of the dirhams.
The Bedouin said: I do not have a donkey.
The governor said: Go, you are free concerning what is between you and him.
