Ḥusayn b. Saʿīd al-Ahwāzī · What has come in Reference to this World and One who Seeks it
حدثنا الحسين بن سعيد قال: حدثنا محمد بن سنان عن طلحة بن زيد عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: سمعته يقول: إن مثل الدنيا مثل الحية، مسها لين وفى جوفها السم القاتل يحذرها الرجل العاقل ويهوى إليها الصبيان بأيديهم.
1.Al-Ḥusayn ibn Saʿīd narrated to us, “Muḥammad ibn Sinān narrated to us from Ṭalḥah ibn Zayd, from Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) whom he heard saying, ‘The example of this world is like a snake, it is soft to the touch yet within it lies a lethal poison. The wise person is cautious of it, yet children are inclined to touch it with their hands.’”
