حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ قَالَ:
مَا سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يَتَمَثَّلُ بِبَيْتِ شِعْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا هَذَا الْبَيْتَ: لَيْسَ مَنْ مَاتَ فَاسْتَرَاحَ بِمَيْتٍ إِنَّمَا الْمَيْتُ مَيِّتُ الْأَحْيَاءِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: صَدَقَ وَاللهِ إِنَّهُ لَيَكُونُ حَيًّا [١]وَهُوَ مَيِّتُ الْقَلْبِ

I never heard al-Ḥasan recite a verse of poetry except this verse: "He who dies and finds rest is not truly dead; the truly dead is the one who is dead while among the living." Then he said: "By God, he spoke the truth. A man may be alive [1] while his heart is dead."
