524 – Muḥammad ibn ʿUmārah al-Asadī narrated:
Wahb ibn Munabbih said, “If someone’s heart delights in anything of this world, he has strayed from wisdom. Whoever places his appetite beneath his feet will make his devil flee even from his shadow, and whoever conquers his passions is the one who truly prevails.”
٥٢٤ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ الْأَسَدِيُّ، نا حَسَنُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ الْعُرَنِيُّ، نا عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، قَالَ: «مَنْ فَرِحَ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا فَقَدْ أَخْطَأَ الْحِكْمَةَ، وَمَنْ جَعَلَ شَهْوَتَهُ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ يَفْرَقُ شَيْطَانُهُ مِنْ ظِلِّهِ، وَمَنْ غَلَبَ عَلَيْهِ هَوَاهُ فَهُوَ الْغَالِبُ»
