Al-TawbaIbn Abi al-Dunya

88 – Ḥusayn ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān recited to us:

When a man’s concerns keep swelling ever greater,
While his days, like a rider in haste, speed on and are spent;
Though cares enough were bound up in what has already gone by,
The herald of death still knocks—again and again.
Yet he has never resolved to repent,
Nor stored up any provision for meeting Allah.
May Allah reprimand a people whose only wish and care
Is the shattered rubble of a world fated to perish and pass away.

٨٨ - أَنْشَدَنِي الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: [البحر الطويل] إِذَا كَانَ شُغْلُ الْمَرْءِ يَزْدَادُ كَثْرَةً ... وَأَيَّامُهُ مَعَ رَاكِبٍ يَمْضِي وَتَنْفَدُ وَقَدْ كَانَ شُغْلٌ فِي مَا قَدْ. . ... . . طَرَقَ الرَّدَى يَتَرَدَّدُ وَلَمْ يَكُ يَنْوِي تَوْبَةً. . . ... . . . اللَّه مَا يُتَزَوَّدُ لَحَا اللَّهُ أَقْوَامًا مُنَاهُمْ وَهَمُّهُمُ ... حُطَامٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا يَبِيدُ وَيَنْفَدُ
