1659 – ʿAbd Allah related this to us; my father transmitted it to us, from ʿAbd al-Quddus ibn Thawr, from Abu Bakr ibn al-Fudayl ibn al-Muʾtaman, from ʿUqbah ibn Khalid al-ʿAbdi, who said: al-Hasan stated, “Hearts die and come back to life. When they are dead, oblige them with the obligatory duties; and when they revive, discipline them with voluntary acts.”
١٦٥٩ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْقُدُّوسِ بْنُ ثَوْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ الْمُؤْتَمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ قَالَ: قَالَ الْحَسَنُ: «إِنَّ الْقُلُوبَ تَمُوتُ وَتَحْيَا فَإِذَا هِيَ مَاتَتْ فَاحْمِلُوهَا عَلَى الْفَرَائِضِ فَإِذَا حَيِيَتْ فَأَدِّبُوهَا فِي التَّطَوُّعِ»
