"عن أَبى بَكْرِ بنِ عياشٍ قال: لَمَّا خَرَجَ عَلِىُّ بْنُ أَبِى طَالِبٍ إِلَى صِفِّين مَرَّ بِخَرَابِ الْمَدَائِنِ فَتَمَثَّلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فقال: جَرَتِ الرَّيَاحُ عَلَى مَحِلِّ دِيَارِهِمُ... فَكَأنَّمَا كانُوا عَلَى مِيعَادِ وَإِذَا النَّعِيمُ وَكُلُّ مَا يُلْهَى بِهِ... يَوْمًا يَصِيرُ إِلَى بِلى وَنَفَادِ فَقَالَ عَلِىٌّ: لَا تَقُلْ هَكَذَا وَلَكِنْ قُلْ كَمَا قَالَ اللهُ: {كَمْ تَرَكُوا مِنْ جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ (25) وَزُرُوعٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ (26) وَنَعْمَةٍ كَانُوا فِيهَا فَاكِهِينَ (27) كَذَلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَاهَا قَوْمًا آخَرِينَ } إِنَّ هُؤَلاء الْقَوْمَ كَانُوا وَارِثينَ فَأَصْبَحُوا مَوْرُوثِينَ، وَإنَّ هؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمِ اسْتَحَلُّوا الْحَرَامَ فَحَلَّتْ بِهِمُ النِّقَمُ فَلَا تَسْتَحِلُّوا الْحُرُمَ فَيُحِلَّ بِكُمُ النِّقَّمَ".

"From Abu Bakr ibn 'Ayyash, who said: When 'Ali ibn Abi Talib went out to Siffin, he passed by the ruins of al-Mada'in. A man from among his companions recited poetry: The winds have passed over the places of their dwellings... so it is as if they had been on an appointed time. And that the pleasure and all that one is diverted with... one day will return to decay and perishing. 'Ali said: Do not say it like that, but say as Allah said: {How much they left behind of gardens and springs (25) and crops and noble station (26) and luxury in which they had been pleased (27). Thus, and We caused other people to inherit them.} Indeed, those people were inheritors, and then they became inherited. And indeed, these people made lawful the forbidden, so the vengeance descended upon them. So do not make the sacred things lawful, lest vengeance descend upon you."
