- He said: Muhammad ibn Qudāmah al-Juwayrī recited to me:
Death is a millstone that turns above us all;
we remain unmindful, each of us beguiled.
May Allah show mercy to the one who weeps for his sins;
for every person, his own offence is an excuse to seek pardon.
Would that I knew—what will become of you
when even the earth has lost the spot where your grave once lay?
Would that I knew—how will you fare
when camphor dust is scattered over the fevered heat of your face?
٨٨- قال وأنشدني محمد بن قدامة الجويري
المنايا رحى علينا تدور ... كلنا جاهل بها مغرور
رحم الله من بكى للخطايا ... كل لذنبه معذور
ليت شعري وكيف أنت إذا ... ما ضل في الأرض قبرك المقبور
ليت شعري فكيف أنت إذا ... ما ذر في حر وجهك الكافور
