1362. ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; Nasr ibn ʿAli related to me; Rawḥ ibn al-Musayyab narrated to us, from Thābit, who said:

Mutarrif remarked, “The son of Adam is like this stone: if something sets it in motion, it moves; otherwise, it is nothing but a stone lying on the ground.” He then recited, “And for anyone to whom Allah has not granted light, there is no light” (Surah al-Nūr, 24:40).
