310 – Muhammad ibn ʿAli narrated to us; he said: Abu Ishaq narrated to us; he said: and I heard al-Fudayl say: Abu al-Dardaʾ said, “The son of Adam’s soul remains youthful in its love for this world and for the dirham, even if his two collarbones were to meet from extreme old age—except for those whose hearts Allah has tested for the Hereafter, and how few they are.”
٣١٠ - ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: ثنا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: وَسَمِعْتُ الْفُضَيْلَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: «لَا تَزَالُ نَفْسُ ابْنِ آدَمَ شَابَّةً فِي حُبِّ الدُّنْيَا وَالدِّرْهَمِ، وَلَوِ الْتَقَتْ تَرْقُوَتَاهُ مِنَ الْكِبَرِ، إِلَّا الَّذِينَ امْتَحَنَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِلْآخِرَةِ، وَقَلِيلٌ مَا هُمْ»
