[Machine] The passage translates to: "Al-Rabi'i used to say, when asked how he was doing, 'We have become weak and sinful, we eat our provisions and wait for our fate.'"
كَانَ الرَّبِيعُ يَقُولُ [268] إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُ كَيْفَ أَصْبَحْتَ يَا أَبَا يَزِيدَ؟ يَقُولُ «أَصْبَحْنَا ضُعَفَاءَ مُذْنِبِينَ نَأْكُلُ أَرْزَاقَنَا ونَنْتَظِرُ آجَالَنَا»
