Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37261 — The words of Ibn Masud
٣٧٢٦١ - حدثنا أبو معاوية عن السري بن يحيى (عن الحسن) (١) قال: قال عبد اللَّه: لو (وقفت) (٢) بين الجنة والنار فقيل لي: (نخبرك) (٣) من أيهما تكون أحب إليك أو تكون رمادا، لاخترت أن أكون رمادا (٤).
It is narrated from al-Hasan that he said: Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If I were made to stand between Paradise and Hell and were told: We shall tell you in which of the two you will be, is this dearer to you, or that you become ash? I would choose to become ash.
