113 – Ziyād ibn Ayyūb narrated to us; he said: Saʿīd ibn ʿĀmir narrated to us; he said: Muʿtamir ibn Sulaymān narrated to us; he said:
Jesus — peace be upon him — said, “The world was here before I entered it, and it will remain after I am gone. My share of it is only a limited number of days. ⦗65⦘ If I cannot attain felicity during these days of mine in this world, then when shall I ever be happy?”
١١٣ - ثنا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ: ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: ثنا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: قَالَ عِيسَى ﵇: كَانَتِ الدُّنْيَا قَبْلَ أَنْ أَكُونَ فِيهَا، وَهِيَ كَائِنَةٌ بَعْدِي، وَإِنَّمَا لِي فِيهَا أَيَّامٌ مَعْدُودَةٌ، ⦗٦٥⦘ فَإِذْا لَمْ أُسْعَدْ فِي أَيَامِي فِي هَذِهِ فَمَتَى أُسْعَدُ؟
