33 – Al‐Mufaḍḍal ibn Ghassān narrated to me, from a shaykh of Banū ʿĀmir ibn Ṣaʿṣaʿah, who said: A man once said to me, “Night and day have already taken their turn over you: night drives you on to day, and day drives you on to night, until death eventually reaches you.”
٣٣ - حَدَّثَنِي الْمُفَضَّلُ بْنُ غَسَّانَ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ، مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي رَجُلٌ: «قَدِ اعْتَوَرَكَ اللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ، يَدْفَعُكَ اللَّيْلُ إِلَى النَّهَارِ، وَيَدْفَعُكَ النَّهَارُ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ، حَتَّى يَأْتِيَكَ الْمَوْتُ»
