Arabic text

١١٥. وَقِيلَ لَهُ (عليه ‏السلام): كَيْفَ نَجِدُكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام): كَيْفَ يَكُونُ حَالُ مَنْ يَفْنَى بِبَقَائِهِ وَيَسْقَمُ بِصِحَّتِهِ وَيُؤْتَى مِنْ مَأْمَنِهِ.

Translation

115. It was said to Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him: How are you, O Amīr al-mu’minīn? and he replied: How can he be whom life is driving towards death, whose state of healthiness can change into sickness any moment and who is to be caught (by death) from his place of safety.
