Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 448

Translation

✧ He said to a nephew of his who had come from al-Wahṭ: 'Are your workers working?' He replied, 'I do not know.' He said, 'If you were a Thaqafī, you would know what your workers are doing.' Then he turned to us and said, 'When a man works with his workers in his house' – and Abū ʿĀṣim once said, 'in his property' – 'he is one of the workers of Allah, Mighty and Majestic.'
