[Machine] A man said to Muawiyah, "O Abu al-Mu'tamir, I complain to you about myself. I am not able to pray and I am not able to fast." Muawiyah said, "It is bad what you impose upon yourself. When you are weak in doing good, weaken yourself from doing evil. For I am pleased with the sleep that you sleep."
قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِمُوَرَّقٍ يَا أَبَا الْمُعْتَمِرِ أَشْكُو إِلَيْكَ نَفْسِي إِنِّي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ وَلَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَصُومَ قَالَ «بِئْسَ مَا تُثْنِي عَلَى نَفْسِكَ أَمَا إِذَا ضَعُفْتَ عَنِ الْخَيْرِ فَاضْعَفْ عَنِ الشَّرِّ فَإِنِّي لَأَفْرَحُ بِالنَّوْمَةِ أَنَامُهَا»
