to bring a camel from his herd. The man went and looked for the
best one, and found a he-camel strong and well trained, which he
thought of taking to Abu Zarr Radhiallaho anho but it occurred to
him that this was a fit animal for breeding, so he left it out and chose
the next best, which was a she-camel, and took it to Abu Zarr
Radhiallaho anho. By chance, Abu Zarr Radhiallaho anho saw the
he-camel which the man had selected first. So, Abu Zarr told the
man that he had committed a breach of trust. The man understood
the position and replaced the she-camel with the he-camel. Abu Zarr
Radhiallaho anho then asked the people around, if two of them
would volunteer to do a good deed for him. Two men came forward,
Abu Zarr asked them if they would slaughter the camel and divide
its meat into as many pieces as the number of houses along side the
water course and deliver a piece to each house. He also told them to
count his own house among those and. deliver a piece there of exactly
the same size as that for others. The two men agreed to do the
needful and accomplished the whole task.
