Notes
[ط] الطيالسي عن أُبى بن كعب، هو كناية عن الغائط والبول -يعنى ما يخرج منه- كان ذلك أَلوانا من الطعام طيبة ناعمة وشرابا سائغا مريا فصار عاقبة ذلك ما ترون؛ فالدنيا حلوة خضرة، والنفوس تميل إِليها، والجاهل بعاقبتها ينافس في زينتها وزخرفها، ظانا أَنها تبقى له أَو هو يبقى لها، والعاقل لا يطمئن إِليها، ولا يغتر بها علما بأَنها زائلة مستحيلة وأَنها وإِن ساعدت مرة، فالموت لا محالة يدرك صاحبها ويخترمه)
machine translation[ṭ] Al-Ṭayālisī, from Ubayy b. Kaʿb. It is a figurative reference to excrement and urine, meaning what comes out of him. It was once various kinds of food, good and soft, and drink, pleasant and wholesome, and the outcome of that became what you see. The world is sweet and green, and souls incline toward it. The one ignorant of its outcome competes for its adornment and finery, thinking that it will remain for him or that he will remain for it. The wise person does not rest assured in it and is not deceived by it, knowing that it is passing and changing, and that even if it favors him once, death will inevitably overtake its owner and cut him off.
