37 – Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥusayn narrated to me; Muḥammad ibn Sinān al-Bāhilī informed us, saying: “I heard al-Rabīʿ ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān say, ‘Only the one whose lifetime brings him profit—an increase in his righteous deeds—truly wishes to remain alive. But whoever has squandered his years and allowed his passions to lead him finds no benefit in a long life.’”
