[Machine] Abdullah recited this verse: "But you prefer the worldly life" and then said, "Do you know with what thing the worldly life began? What thing did it value the worldly life? The worldly life has been hastened for us, and it has been given to us with its pleasure and delight, while the Hereafter has been hidden from us and removed from us. So we responded to the immediate and left the postponed."
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا} فَقَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرِي بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ ابْتَدَأَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا؟ لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ آثَرَ بِالْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا؟ عُجِّلَتْ لَنَا الدُّنْيَا وَأُوتِينَا لَذَّتَهَا وَبَهْجَتَهَا وَغُيِّبَتْ عَنَّا الْآخِرَةُ وَزُوِيَتْ عَنَّا فَأَجَبْنَا الْعَاجِلَ وَتَرَكْنَا الْآجِلَ»
