[Machine] My family, when they enjoyed their dinner and settled down to sleep, woke up to find themselves dead on their beds. It was said, "O father of so-and-so, are you not rich?" He replied, "Yes, but I heard Abu Dhar saying that soon, my nephew, if you live long enough, you will see a man being envied for his comfortable situation, just like today people envy a rich man. And soon, if you live long enough, you will see a man whom the Sultan does not recognize, does not bring closer, and does not honor, being envied, just like today the Sultan recognizes him, brings him closer, and honors him." And soon, my nephew, if you live long enough, you will see a funeral passing through the market, and the man will raise his head and say, "I wish I were in their place." I asked, "Do you know what will happen to them?" He replied, "According to what they used to do." I said, "Indeed, that is in the presence of a great matter." He said, "Yes, indeed, a great, great, great matter."
