48 – 106112 Ibrāhīm ibn Saʿīd al-Aṣfahānī narrated to me; he said: “One of the sages remarked, ‘The ignorant man takes what is in fact nothing to be something, and regards what is truly something as nothing. ⦗40⦘ Whoever will not abandon the thing that is nothing will never attain the thing that is something; and whoever does not recognize the thing that is something will not relinquish the thing that is nothing—he seeks both the world and the Hereafter.’”
٤٨ - حَدَّثَنِي ١٠٦١١٢ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَصْفَهَانِيُّ، قَالَ: قَالَ بَعْضُ الْحُكَمَاءِ: يَحْسَبُ الْجَاهِلُ الشَّيْءَ الَّذِي هُوَ لَا شَيْءَ شَيْئًا، ⦗٤٠⦘ وَالشَّيْءَ الَّذِي هُوَ الشَّيْءُ لَا شَيْءَ، وَمَنْ لَا يَتْرُكُ الشَّيْءَ الَّذِي هُوَ لَا شَيْءَ لَا يَنَالُ الشَّيْءَ الَّذِي هُوَ الشَّيْءُ، وَمَنْ لَا يَعْرِفُ الشَّيْءَ الَّذِي هُوَ الشَّيْءُ لَا يَتْرُكُ الشَّيْءَ الَّذِي هُوَ لَا شَيْءَ، يُرِيدُ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةَ "
