أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ, أَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ, نَا أَبُو عُثْمَانَ الْخَيَّاطُ, قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ الْهَمْدَانِيَّ,
يَقُولُ: تُوُفِّيَ لِلرَّشِيدِ ابْنٌ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ الْفُضَيْلُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ: " أَمَّا بَعْدُ, يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ, فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ يَكُونَ شُكْرُكَ لَهُ حِينَ أَخَذَهُ مِنْكَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ شُكْرِكَ لَهُ حِينَ وَهَبَهُ لَكَ, يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّهُ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ لَمَّا وَهَبَهُ لَكَ أَخَذَ هِبَتِهِ وَلَوْ بَقِيَ لَكَ لَمْ تَسْلَمْ مِنْ فِتْنَتِهِ, أَرَأَيْتَ جَزَعَكَ عَلَيْهِ وَتَلَهُّفَكَ عَلَى فِرَاقِهِ, أَرَضِيتَ الدُّنْيَا لِنَفْسِكَ وَتَرْضَاهَا لِابْنِكَ, أَمَّا هُوَ قَدْ خَلَصَ مِنَ الْكَدَرِ, وَبَقِيتَ أَنْتَ فِي الْخَطَرِ "

He said: A son of al-Rashīd died, so al-Fuḍayl b. ʿIyāḍ wrote to him: "To proceed: O Commander of the Faithful, if you are able to make your thankfulness to Him when He took him from you better than your thankfulness to Him when He granted him to you, then do so. O Commander of the Faithful, when He, glorified be His praise, granted him to you, He had already taken back His gift; and had he remained with you, you would not have been safe from his trial. Consider your distress over him and your grief at parting from him: have you been pleased with this world for yourself and are you pleased with it for your son? As for him, he has been freed from turbidity, while you remain in peril."
