[Machine] Indeed, I have found the livelihood of people in four things: women, food, clothing, and sleep. As for clothing, by Allah, I do not care about what I have not seen through it my nakedness. And as for women, by Allah, I do not care about any woman I have seen, even if it were a wall. And as for sleep and food, they have overwhelmed me, except that I was afflicted by them. By Allah, they will certainly harm my efforts. Al-Hasan said: By Allah, his efforts were indeed harmed by them until he died, may Allah have mercy on him.  

إِنِّي وَجَدْتُ عَيْشَ النَّاسِ فِي أَرْبَعٍ فِي النِّسَاءِ وَالطَّعَامِ وَاللِّبَاسِ وَالنَّوْمِ فَأَمَّا اللِّبَاسُ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا أُبَالِي مَا وَارَيْتُ بِهِ عَوْرَتِي وَأَمَّا النِّسَاءُ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا أُبَالِي امْرَأَةً رَأَيْتُ أَوْ جِدَارًا وَأَمَّا النَّوْمُ وَالطَّعَامُ فَقَدْ غَلَبَانِي إِلَّا أَنْ أُصِيبَ مِنْهُمَا فَوَاللَّهِ لَأُضُرَّنَّ بِهَا جَهْدِي قَالَ الْحَسَنُ فَأَضَرَّ وَاللَّهِ بِهِمَا جَهْدَهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ
