Chapter 8 | What has come in Reference to this World and One who Seeks it

محمد بن أبي عمير عن هشام بن سالم عن أبي يعقوب قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: انا لنحب الدنيا وانا لا نعطاها خير لنا وما اعطى أحد منها شيئا الأنقص من حظه في الآخرة.

18.Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿUmayr narrated from Hishām ibn Sālim, from Abū Yaʿqūb who said, “I heard Abā ʿAbdillāh say, ‘Verily we love this world yet it is actually better for it not to be granted to us, and nothing from it is granted to anyone but that his share is thereby reduced in the Hereafter.’”
