365 – Abu Musa al-Ansari, quoting Ibn ʿUyaynah, related: al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf once declared from the pulpit, “The very fraying of this cloak of mine is dearer to me than all that has already passed of this world, and what is left of it is no different from what is gone—like water compared with water.”
٣٦٥ - قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ: لَسَحْقُ رِدَائِي هَذَا أَحَبُّ إِلَى مِمَّا مَضَى مِنَ الدُّنْيَا، وَلَمَّا بَقِيَ مِنْهَا أَشْبَهُ بِمَا مَضَى مِنَ الْمَاءِ بِالْمَاءِ
