21 – Ishaq narrated to us; Rawh ibn ʿUbadah narrated to us; Hisham narrated to us; from al-Hasan, who said: Ibn Masʿūd—may Allah be pleased with him—said, “If I were made to stand between Paradise and Hell and given the choice to enter whichever of the two would be my abode, or to become dust, I would choose to become dust.”
٢١ - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ: «لَوْ وُقِفْتُ بَيْنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ، فَخُيِّرْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا، أَيِّهِمَا مَنْزِلِي، أَوْ أَكُونُ تُرَابًا، لَاخْتَرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ تُرَابًا»
