77 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; he said: Muhammad ibn al-Husayn informed me; ʿUbayd Allah ibn ʿUmar ibn Maysarah related to me, saying: “We once visited a devoted worshipper. The worshipper said, ‘Weeping is the hearts’ remedy and their repose, yet what wastes them away and wounds them is lingering grief and smoldering sorrow.’”
٧٧ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، قَالَ: أَتَيْنَا عَابِدًا مَرَّةً فَقَالَ الْعَابِدُ: «إِنَّمَا الْبُكَاءُ شِفَاءُ الْقُلُوبِ وَرَاحَتُهَا وَلَكِنَّ ضَنَاهَا وَنِكَايَتَهَا فِي الْحُزْنِ وَالْكَمَدِ»
