[Machine] Pyramid for Ibn 'Amir, would you be happy to know that this prayer ate you this beast and you disappeared? He said, "No, by Allah, I hope for the mercy of Allah and I hope and hope." The pyramid said, "But I swear by Allah that I wish I was eaten by this prayer, this beast and I disappeared, and I would not be anything."  

الزهد لأحمد:١٢٨٩حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حُمَيْدَ بْنَ هِلَالٍ قَالَ خَرَجَ هَرِمُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرٍ حَاجَّيْنِ فَبَيْنَمَا هُمَا يَسِيرَانِ إِذْ رُفِعَتْ لِرَاحِلَتِهِمَا صِلِّيَانَةٌ فَابْتَدَرَتْهَا رَاحِلَتُهُمَا فَأَكَلَتْهَا إِحْدَاهُمَا فَقَالَ

هَرِمٌ لِابْنِ عَامِرٍ أَيَسُرُّكَ أَنَّكَ هَذِهِ الصِّلِّيَانَةُ أَكَلَتْكَ هَذِهِ الدَّابَّةُ فَذَهَبْتَ؟ قَالَ لَا وَاللَّهِ أَرْجُو رَحْمَةَ اللَّهِ وَأَرْجُو وَأَرْجُو فَقَالَ هَرِمٌ لَكِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي هَذِهِ الصِّلِّيَانَةُ أَكَلَتْنِي هَذِهِ الدَّابَّةُ فَذَهَبْتُ فَلَمْ أَكُنْ شَيْئًا
