[Machine] I went to al-Hasan and said, "O Abu Sa'id, I have come to you, and by Allah, I only barely made it to you due to the severity of the filth beneath my feet and the hardships upon my head." Then al-Hasan said, "O rain, indeed this truth is heavy, and the people have strived and faced many of their desires. And by Allah, only those who recognize its virtue and hope for its outcome are able to follow this truth."  

أَتَيْتُ الْحَسَنَ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ أَتَيْتُكَ وَاللَّهِ مَا كِدْتُ أَقْطَعُكَ إِلَّا فِي شِدَّةِ الْوَحْلِ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ وَالْمَتَاعِبِ عَلَى رَأْسِي فَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ «يَا مَطَرُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْحَقَّ ثَقِيلٌ وَقَدْ جَهَدَ النَّاسَ وَحَالَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ كَثِيرٍ مِنْ شَهَوَاتِهِمْ وَإِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا يَسِيرُ عَلَى هَذَا الْحَقِّ إِلَّا مَنْ عَرَفَ فَضْلَهُ وَرَجَا عَاقِبَتَهُ»
