ahmad-zuhd:1636ʿAbdullāh from my father > Hāshim > Ibn al-Mubārak > al-Ḥasan

[Machine] "Beware of your desires, for Allah is merciful to you, and indeed, no one has been granted goodness in this world or the Hereafter with their desires."  

الزهد لأحمد:١٦٣٦حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ

«إِيَّاكُمْ رَحِمَكُمُ اللَّهُ وَهَذِهِ الْأَمَانِيَّ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُعْطَ أَحَدٌ بِالْأُمْنِيَةِ خَيْرًا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَلَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ»
