322 – I read in the book of Dāwūd ibn Rushayd: Abū ʿAbd Allāh narrated to me, saying that Jesus son of Mary—peace be upon him—said, “The one who pursues this world is like a man who drinks seawater: the more he drinks, the fiercer his thirst grows, until it finally kills him.”
٣٢٢ - قَرَأْتُ فِي كِتَابِ دَاوُدَ بْنِ رُشَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ﵇: «طَالِبُ الدُّنْيَا مِثْلُ شَارِبِ مَاءِ الْبَحْرِ، كُلَّمَا ازْدَادَ شُرْبًا ازْدَادَ عَطَشًا حَتَّى يَقْتُلَهُ»
