[Machine] To build a house on the waves of the sea; similarly, do not take this world as a resolution.  

الزهد لأحمد:٤٨١ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا أبِي حَدَّثَنَا هَيْثَمُ بْنُ خَارِجَةَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ عَلَّاقٍ عَنْ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ كَانَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يَقُولُ لَحَقٍّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ كَمَا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدُكُمْ

أَنْ يَبْنِيَ عَلَى مَوْجِ الْبَحْرِ دَارًا؛ كَذَلِكُمُ الدُّنْيَا لَا تَتَّخِذُوهَا قَرَارًا
