480 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to me; Sufyan narrated to us:
Jesus son of Mary, peace be upon him, said to the reciters: “O salt of the earth, do not become corrupt. When anything turns bad, it is salt that restores it; but if the salt itself goes bad, nothing can restore it.”
٤٨٠ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أبِي، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ: " قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ (عليه السلام) لِلْقُرَّاءِ: يَا مِلْحَ الْأَرْضِ، لَا تَفْسُدُوا؛ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْءَ إِذَا فَسَدَ إِنَّمَا يُصْلِحُهُ الْمِلْحُ، وَإِنَّ الْمِلْحَ إِذَا فَسَدَ لَمْ يُصْلِحْهُ شَيْءٍ "
