Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ هُوَ الْأَصَمُّ أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ قَالَ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا ذَا قَرَابَةٍ لِعُثْمَانَ ؓ قَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ مَعَاشِهِ فَذَكَرَ لَهُ غَلَّةَ حَمَّامٍ وَكَسْبَ حَجَّامٍ أَوْ حَجَّامَيْنِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ كَسْبَكُمْ لَوَسَخٌ أَوْ قَالَ لَدَنَسٌ أَوْ لَدَنِيٌّ أَوْ كَلِمَةً تُشْبِهِهَا

Al-Shafi'i said: "It has been narrated that a man who was a relative of Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) came to him and he asked him about his livelihood. He mentioned to him the income of a bathhouse and the earnings of a cupper or two cuppers. He said: 'Your earnings are indeed filthy' - or he said 'dirty' or 'lowly' or a similar word."
