Arabic text

النظر بن سويد عن درست عن بعض أصحابه عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: لو أن حورا من حور الجنة أشرفت على أهل الدنيا وأبدت ذؤابة من ذوائبها (لا فتن) لا متن أهل الدنيا. أو لا ماتت أهل الدنيا - وان المصلى ليصلى فإذا لم يسأل ربه أن يزوجه من الحور العين قلن: ما أزهد هذا فينا!

Translation

13.Al-Naḍr ibn Suwayd narrated from Durust, from one of his companions, from Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) who said, “If a houri of Paradise were to approach the people of this world and display one of her forelocks, [all] the people of this world would become enthralled, or the people of this world would die [of desire]. And verily when a worshipper prays and does not ask his Lord to marry him with a wide-eyed houri [in Paradise], they say, ‘How abstemious he is regarding us!’”

Translation: Shaykh Tahir Ridha Jaffer — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
