124 – ʿUbayd ibn Muḥammad al-Warrāq narrated to me; he said: ⦗69⦘ Abū Naṣr ibn al-Ḥārith reported: Sufyān al-Thawrī said to Bakr al-ʿĀbid, “O Bakr, practice zuhd (detachment) and sleep.” He added, “O Bakr, take from this world for your body, and take from the Hereafter for your heart.” Abū Naṣr explained, “For your body: that is, only what you cannot do without; and for your heart: keep it occupied with the remembrance of the Hereafter.”
١٢٤ - حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْوَرَّاقُ، قَالَ: ⦗٦٩⦘ قَالَ أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ: قَالَ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ لِبَكْرٍ الْعَابِدِ: يَا بَكْرُ، ازْهَدْ وَنَمْ. قَالَ: وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ: يَا بَكْرُ، خُذْ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا لِبَدَنِكَ، وَخُذْ مِنَ الْآخِرَةِ لِقَلْبِكَ " قَالَ أَبُو نَصْرٍ: يَعْنِي لِبَدَنِكَ مَا لَا بُدَّ لَكَ مِنْهُ، وَلِقَلْبِكَ: أَيِ اشْغَلْ قَلْبَكَ بِذِكْرِ الْآخِرَةِ
