1873 – ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us; ʿAlī ibn Muslim narrated to me; Siyyar narrated to us; Jaʿfar narrated to us; Mālik narrated to us; he said: Luqmān said to his son, “My son, why does that which people are promised strike them as so remote, while they race swiftly toward that which they were never promised?”
١٨٧٣ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارٌ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ قَالَ: قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ: «يَا بُنَيَّ كَيْفَ تَطَاوَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ مَا يُوعَدُونَ وَهُمْ إِلَى مَا لَا يُوعَدُونَ سِرَاعًا يَذْهَبُونَ؟»
