He said: Ibn Abī al-ʿAtāhiyah recited to me:
A man full of vigor is often snatched away
When he is at his soundest, untouched by ailment.O you who place the dead inside the grave,
The grave has spoken to you, yet you did not understand.
٨٦- قال وأنشدني ابن أبي العتاهية قوله
لربما عوقص ذو شرة ... أصح ما كان ولم يسقم
يا واضع الميت في قبره ... خاطبك القبر فلم تفهم.
