He was on a pacing palfrey while the two were on poor horses, and envy seized them. Anas posed Abu al-Aswad a riddle, saying that two-thirds of the bath of Fil were better than the bath of Khosrow. Abu al-Aswad answered him with a verse about the clients. {cite:futuh-buldan-maarif-1407}\n\nHe lived in [[place/basra|Basra]], in the Umayyad period."
