حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ:
مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ بِالسِّلْسِلَةِ بِتَمَاثِيلَ مِنْ صُفْرٍ تُبَاعُ، فَقَالَ مَسْرُوقٌ: لَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ [يَنْفُقُ لَضَرَبْتُهَا] [١]، وَلَكِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يُعَذِّبَنِي فَيَفْتِنِّي، وَاللهِ، مَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ الرَّجُلَيْنِ ؟ رَجُلٌ قَدْ زُيِّنَ لَهُ سُوءُ عَمَلِهِ، أَوْ رَجُلٌ قَدْ أَيِسَ مِنْ آخِرَتِهِ فَهُوَ يَتَمَتَّعُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا

He passed by him while he was at al-Silsilah, past statues of brass being sold. Masruq said: If I knew that it would die, I would strike it, but I fear that it would punish me and tempt me. By Allah, I do not know which of the two men: a man whose evil deeds have been made attractive to him, or a man who has despaired of his Hereafter and so enjoys the world.
