[Machine] I heard Al-Hassan saying, "If you see a man competing in this world, compete with him in the hereafter."  

الزهد لأحمد:١٢١٥ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يَقُولُ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الرَّجُلَ يُنَافِسُ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَنَافِسْهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ
