Al-ZuhdIbn Abi al-Dunya

24 – Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥusayn narrated to me; he said: Yūsuf ibn al-Ḥakam al-Raqqī related: al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī—may Allah be pleased with him—used to recite, and it is also reported that the verses are his own:

O people who delight in pleasures the world cannot keep,
To trust a vanishing shade is nothing but sheer folly.

٢٤ - وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، قَالَ: ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ الرَّقِّيُّ، قَالَ: كَانَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ﵉ يَتَمَثَّلُ وَيُرْوَى أَنَّهُ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ: [البحر البسيط] يَا أَهْلَ لَذَّاتِ دُنْيَا لَا بَقَاءَ لَهَا ... إِنَّ اغْتِرَارًا بِظِلٍّ زَائِلٍ حُمْقُ
