Al-Adab al-Mufrad 169 — One Who Counts on His Servant Out of Fear
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ حَارِثَةَ بْنَ مُضَرِّبٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَلْمَانَ: إِنِّي لَأَعُدُّ الْعُرَاقَ خَشْيَةَ الظَّنِّ.
Haritha bin Mudarrib says that I heard Sayyiduna Salman al-Farsi (may Allah be pleased with him) say: I even count bones with little meat on them to avoid suspicion.
