Ḥusayn b. Saʿīd al-Ahwāzī · What has come in Reference to this World and One who Seeks it
عبد الله بن المغيرة عن طلحة بن زيد عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: تمثلت الدنيا لعيسى عليه السلام في صورة امرأة زرقاء فقال لها: كم تزوجت؟ قالت: كثيرا قال: فكل طلقك؟ قالت: بلى كلا قتلت قال: فويح أزواجك الباقين كيف لا يعتبرون بالماضين قال: وقال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: مثل الدنيا كمثل البحر المالح كلما شرب العطشان منه ازداد عطشا حتى يقتله
9.ʿAbdullāh ibn al-Mughīrah narrated from Ṭalḥah ibn Zayd, from Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) who said, “This world appeared to ʿĪsā (a) in the for of a blue-eyed woman. He asked her, ‘How many have you married?’ She said, ‘Many.’ He asked, ‘Did you divorce them all?’ She said, ‘Rather, I killed them all!’ He said, ‘Then woe to your remaining spouses! How can they not take lesson from those who have passed?’” Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) [then] said, “The example of this world is like the salty sea – every time a thirsty person drinks from it, it increases his thirst, until it kills him.”
