84 – Azhar related to me; he said: Jaʿfar narrated to us; he said: Abū Kaʿb narrated; he said: I heard al-Hasan say: “In this world the believer is like a stranger: he does not vie for its prestige, nor does he despair over its humiliation. People have one concern—indeed, I think he added: and he has another—so channel these surpluses to the places Allah has appointed.”
٨٤ - حَدَّثَنِي أَزْهَرُ، قَالَ: ثنا جَعْفَرٌ، قَالَ: ثنا أَبُو كَعْبٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ، يَقُولُ: " الْمُؤْمِنُ فِي الدُّنْيَا كَالْغَرِيبِ لَا يُنَافِسُ فِي عِزِّهَا، وَلَا يَجْزَعُ مِنْ ذُلِّهَا، لِلنَّاسِ حَالٌ - أَظُنُّهُ قَالَ: وَلَهُ حَالٌ - وَجِّهُوا هَذِهِ الْفُضُولَ حَيْثُ وَجَّهَهَا اللَّهُ ﷿ "
