36 – Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥusayn narrated to me; Muḥammad ibn al-Mughīrah narrated, saying: “When Ibn al-Mubārak arrived in Tarsus and observed the bearing of its inhabitants, he wept. Someone asked him, ‘What makes you weep, Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān?’ He replied, ‘I am weeping over the fleeting nature of my life and how I have squandered it.’ On another occasion he looked toward the city gate while people were jostling around it and said, ‘Eternal gladness is surely their due beyond that gate.’”} 🡒 Proper JSON! 🎉 .. we must remove out-of-frame part?

٣٦ - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ: لَمَّا قَدِمَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ طَرَسُوسَ فَرَأَى هَيْئَةَ أَهْلِهَا بَكَى، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: مَا يُبْكِيكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ؟ قَالَ: بَكَيْتُ عَلَى فَنَاءِ عُمُرِي وَضَيْعَتِهِ. قَالَ: وَنَظَرَ إِلَى الْبَابِ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَالنَّاسُ يَزْدَحِمُونَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: حُقَّ لَهُمْ سُرُورُ الْأَبَدِ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ
