One Mauritian was here in the United States and he had just gotten here and he was raised in a bedouin tradition.

Somebody took a glass (of drink) and drank from it and then threw it into the garbage can.

He said, "What did he just do?  He just threw that cup into that garbage."

I said, "Well it’s a throw-away cup, They just use it one-time and throw it away."

He said to me, "This is the most extreme extravagance"

and he said, "Extravagant people are the Brethren of the demons" "Allah hates wasters."

He said, "That was a perfectly good cup,  he could have used it over and over again."
