وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَعْلَى، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ هُوَ الْأَعْرَجُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:

« عَجَبًا لِغَافِلٍ وَلَا يُغْفَلُ عَنْهُ، وَعَجَبًا لِطَالِبِ دُنْيَا وَالْمَوْتُ يَطْلُبُهُ، وَعَجَبًا لِضَاحِكٍ مِلْءَ فِيهِ وَلَا يَدْرِي أَرْضَى اللهَ أَمْ أَسْخَطَهُ

✧ "How amazing is the heedless one from whom heedlessness is never lifted, and how amazing is the seeker of this world while death seeks him, and how amazing is the one who laughs with his mouth wide open while he does not know whether he has pleased Allah or angered Him."
