68 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; he said: A shaykh known by the kunyah Abu Yaʿqūb related to me and said: One of the sages observed, “Sorrow is the breaking of the heart. When sorrow gains ascendancy over a heart, it dulls and confounds it; its strength melts away, and that condition is called al-kamad.”
٦٨ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي شَيْخٌ يُكَنَّى بِأَبِي يَعْقُوبَ، قَالَ: قَالَ: بَعْضُ الْحُكَمَاءِ: «الْحُزْنُ انْكِسَارُ الْقَلْبِ، فَإِذَا عَلَا الْحُزْنُ قَلْبًا أَبْهَتَهُ وَحَيَّرَهُ، فَانْهَدَّتْ مِنْهُ الْقُوَّةُ، فَسُمِّيَ الْكَمَدَ»
