السيوطي:٤-١٦٠٨b

"عَنْ شَيْخٍ مِنْ بَنِى عَدِىٍّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِعَلِىِّ بْنِ أَبِى طَالِبٍ: يَا أَميرَ الْمُؤْمِنينَ صِفْ لَنَا الدُّنْيَا، قَالَ: وَمَا أَصِفُ لَكَ مِنْ دَار مَنْ صَحَّ فيهَا أَمِنَ، وَمَنْ سَلِمَ فِيهَا نَدِمَ، وَمَنِ افْتَقَرَ فِيهَا حَزِنَ، وَمَنِ اسْتَغْنَى فِيهَا فُتِنَ، حَلَالُهَا حِسَابٌ، وَحَرَامُها النَّارُ".
