wakes up with good health, safety and he has with him food for the
day, then it is as if the world has been gatheredfor him. O Ibn
Ju'shum, what suffices you of it is that which prevents your hunger
and that which conceals you; whether that's a garment which you can
wear or an animal which you can ride upon, then indeed, how fine that
would be! (It is) half a bread and some running water, andyou shall be
called to account for whatever liesabove the Izar (lower garment)."
[Majma' al-Zawa'id 10/292, Mawarid al-Dham'an 2503]
Abu Hatim: 'The intelligentperson must never be deluded by this world
and its dazzles, its beauty and splendors, such that he occupies
himself with it as opposed to occupying himself with the eternal
Hereafter and the everlasting delight (of Paradise). Rather, he should
place the world where Allah has placed it because its end will no
doubt perish. Its civilizations shall become ruins, its inhabitants
shall die, its magnificence will depart and its greenery will be
destroyed. There will remain no arrogant leader in command and no poor
and humiliated one, except that the glass of death shall pass over
them.Then they will depart to the dust where they will become worn out
until they return to what they were in the beginning; ruins (i.e.
dust). Then the Knower of the Unseen (Allah) shall inherit the earth
and all that is upon it. Thus the intelligent one never places his
reliance ona home of this description and he cannot find tranquility
in a world like this – for indeed what lies in store for him is that
which no eye has seen, no ear has heard and has never occurred to the
human mind. So he holds back by abandoning this small and diminutive
world and instead takes pleasure in that superior and abundant world.'
Shu'ayb ibn Ahmad once recited to Sulayman ibn Yazid:
Don't you see how a person exerts his years of youth,
But fate and destiny seem to disrupt the lives of men.
So there is he who tastes the bitter cup of death,
And there is he who awaitsa similar experience.
They have in store for them, a rapid and passing provision,
And all must one day drink from the cup of death.
There is no inheritor exceptthat his wealth will be inherited,
And there is no plunderer except that he will soon bedeprived.
There is none who shows affection except that his love is sold,
And there is no blessing except that it will soon depart .
There is no healthy or afflicted one whom days consume,
Except that it will soon go and be removed.
I see people as guests, whohave settled in estrangement,
Their days revolving around them, and overturning them.
There is a charm in this home of delusion which they have built,
But they have surely seen and experienced its rapidness and fleet.
So they criticize the Dunya (world) but yet they don't desist from its milk,
Indeed, I have not seen thelike of this world; it's criticized yet milked.
It delights them abruptly, yet it harms them suddenly,/
