[Machine] Ziyad sent me to Hujr bin 'Adi, and it is said [that he was known as] Ibn al-Adbar. He refused to come to him. Then he sent me again a second time, and he still refused to come to him. He [Ziyad] said, so he sent to him: "I warn you not to embark on the ends of affairs, for those who embarked on their beginnings have perished."
أَرْسَلَنِي زِيَادٌ إِلَى حُجْرِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ وَيُقَالُ فِيهِ ابْنُ الْأَدْبَرِ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُ ثُمَّ أَعَادَنِي الثَّانِيَةَ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُ قَالَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ «إِنِّي أُحَذِّرُكَ أَنْ تَرْكَبَ أَعْجَازَ أُمُورٍ هَلَكَ مَنْ رَكِبَ صُدُورَهَا»
