So, today's book is The Folklore of Palestine by Barbara M. Bowen. See details below, and here is a story from that collection:
The Men and the Oxen
In summer, Mohammed passed the same field where men were planting. "Peace to you," he said. No one answered. Mohammed cursed the men. "May Allah make your days long!" That is why in summer, days are long, and the men must work hard with little time to sleep.
You can find a longer version of that story, and many other stories besides, in the online book, which is available at Hathi Trust.
