Amir said to 'Amr: "Will you go after the camels or will you keep cooking this game?' 'Amr replied that he would go on cooking, so 'Amir went after the camels and brought them back. When they returned and told their father, he said to 'Amir: 'You are Mudrika (an overtaker), and to 'Amr he said 'You are Tabikha (a cook).
