وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ فِي الزُّهْدِ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ( ح ) قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، ثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زَحْرٍ، عَنْ حِبَّانَ بْنِ أَبِي جَبَلَةَ قَالَ: إِنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ ؓ، قَالَ:
تَلِدُونَ لِلْمَوْتِ وَتَعْمُرُونَ لِلْخَرَابِ، وَتَحْرِصُونَ عَلَى مَا يَفْنَى، وَتَذَرُونَ مَا يَبْقَى، أَلَا حَبَّذَا إِلَيْكُمْ مِنْ هَذِهِ الثَّلَاثِ: الْمَوْتُ، وَالْمَرَضُ، وَالْفَقْرُ
