The Shaykh : The chapter that follows is similar in meaning to the one before it, with some brevity, as the author narrated it with a valid chain.
From Salman, he said:Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 168.
It is the same wisdom as before, but here measuring and coins are not mentioned; rather, it is the ribs. The plural of rib is 'araq, which is the bone from which the meat has been taken and nothing of value remains in terms of meat. It appears that these bones had value at that time and were sold. So when Salman had a servant and he would give him these bones, he would count them for him so that he would not dispose of some of them in a way that the benefit would go into his own pocket. Why for fear of suspicion? Also, as mentioned in the previous athar.
From Salman, he said:
I count the soup bones for my slave, fearing people's opinion.
إني لأعد العراق على خادمي مخافة الظنIt is the same wisdom as before, but here measuring and coins are not mentioned; rather, it is the ribs. The plural of rib is 'araq, which is the bone from which the meat has been taken and nothing of value remains in terms of meat. It appears that these bones had value at that time and were sold.
