Ḥusayn b. Saʿīd al-Ahwāzī · What has come in Reference to this World and One who Seeks it
النضر بن سويد عن أبي سيار عن مروان عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال قال لي علي بن الحسين عليهما السلام: ما عرض لي قط أمران: أحدهما للدنيا والاخر للآخرة فآثرت الدنيا الا رأيت ما أكره قبل ان أمسى ثم قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام لبنى أمية انهم يؤثرون الدنيا على الآخرة منذ ثمانين سنة وليس يرون شيئا يكرهونه.
15.Al-Naḍr ibn Suwayd narrated from Abū Sayyār, from Marwān, from Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) who said, “ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn (a) said to me, ‘It has never happened that two matters, one for this world and the other for the Hereafter, were presented before me and I prioritized the [matter of] this world but that I saw what I disliked before the end of the day.’” Then Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) said regarding the Banī Umayyah, “They have been preferring [and prioritizing] this world over the Hereafter for the past eighty years, yet they do not see anything that they dislike.”[1]
