So I saluted him and asked him, 'O my friend, dost thou seek work? 'Yes, answered he; and I said, 'Come with me and build a wall. He replied, 'On certain conditions I will make with thee. Quoth I 'What are they, O my friend?; and quoth he, 'My wage must be a dirham and a danik, and again when the Mu'ezzin calleth to prayer, thou shalt let me go pray with the congregation. 'It is well, answered I and carried him to my lace, where he fell to work, such work as I never saw the like of.
He did the same upon the call to mid- afternoon prayer, and when I saw him fall to work again thereafterward, I said to him, 'O my friend, verily the hours of labour are over; a workman's day is but till the time of afternoon-prayer. But he replied, 'Praise to the Lord, my service is till the night. And he ceased not to work till nightfall, when I gave him two dirhams; whereupon he asked 'What is this!; and I answered, 'By Allah, this is but part of thy wage, because of thy diligence in my service. But he threw them back to me saying, 'I will have no more than was agreed upon between us twain. I urged him to take them, but could not prevail upon him; so I gave him the dirham and the danik, and he went away.
