حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ قَالَ: نَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ. عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ:
أَشَدُّ خَلْقِ رَبِّكَ عَشَرَةٌ: الْجِبَالُ، وَالْحَدِيدُ يَنْحَتُ الْجِبَالَ، وَالنَّارُ تَأْكُلُ الْحَدِيدَ، وَالْمَاءُ يُطْفِئُ النَّارَ، وَالسَّحَابُ الْمُسَخَّرُ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ يَحْمِلُ الْمَاءَ، وَالرِّيحُ تُقِلُّ السَّحَابَ، وَالْإِنْسَانُ يَتَّقِي الرِّيحَ بِيَدِهِ، وَيَذْهَبُ فِيهَا لِحَاجَتِهِ، وَالسُّكْرُ يَغْلِبُ الْإِنْسَانَ، وَالنَّوْمُ يَغْلِبُ السُّكْرَ، وَالْهَمُّ يَمْنَعُ النَّوْمَ، فَأَشَدُّ خَلْقِ رَبِّكَ الْهَمُّ

✧ The strongest of your Lord's creation are ten: mountains, and iron cuts mountains, and fire consumes iron, and water extinguishes fire, and the clouds subjected between heaven and earth carry water, and the wind carries the clouds, and man shields himself from the wind with his hand and goes about his need in it, and intoxication overcomes man, and sleep overcomes intoxication, and worry prevents sleep. So the strongest of your Lord's creation is worry.
