Anecdotes about Party-Crashers Who Exert Themselves in Party-Crashing and Make It a Trade and Occupation

106

Abu ‘Abd Allah al-Husayn ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hasan, brother of al-Khallal told me, Ibrahim ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Ibrahim al-Shatti in Jurjan told me, Abu ‘Ali Shu‘ba told us:

The party-crashing chieftains in Basra were very dashing, sporting blue wraps in the summertime. One of these chieftains, called “Abu Malik al-Halik,” was walking down Quraysh Lane on a Saturday evening, when he ran into Abu ‘Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Ishaq. Muhammad ibn Ibrahim was sitting by the door and had just swept the sidewalk, because he was marrying the daughter of Husayn ibn Bishr al-Sabuni that Sunday. So Abu Malik said, “Hello” and “Congratulations,” and then he said, “I heard that you’re going to have a big feast tomorrow. If it’s okay, I’m going to come to your house, eat at the banquet, and slip some food out for the kids.”
