62 – Mahmūd ibn Khidāsh narrated to us; Ashʿath ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān narrated to us; a man named ʿAbd al-Malik narrated, from al-Ḥasan, who said: “Son of Adam, do not carry the anxiety of an entire year on the back of a single day. Today already suffices with what it holds. If that year is destined to be part of your lifespan, Allah will surely bring you your provision within it; and if it is not, then why do I see you chasing after what can never be yours?”
٦٢ - حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خِدَاشِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَشْعَثُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: «ابْنَ آدَمَ لَا تَحْمِلْ هَمَّ سَنَةٍ عَلَى يَوْمٍ، كَفَى يَوْمُكَ بِمَا فِيهِ، فَإِنْ تَكُنَ السَّنَةُ مِنْ عُمْرِكَ يَأْتِكَ اللَّهُ فِيهَا بِرِزْقِكَ، وَإِلَّا تَكُنْ مِنْ عُمْرِكَ فَأَرَاكَ تَطْلُبُ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ»
