Hadith 37297
٣٧٢٩٧ - حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش عن أبي وائل قال: قال عبد اللَّه: ما شبهت ما غبر من (الدنيا) (١) إلا (الثغب) (٢) شرب صفوه وبقي كدره، ولا يزال ⦗٣٤٦⦘ أحدكم بخير ما اتقى اللَّه، وإذا (حاك) (٣) في صدره شيء أتي رجلا فشفاه منه، وأيم اللَّه (لأوشك) (٤) أن لا تجدوه (٥).
Hazrat Abdullah says: The portion of the world that has passed is like the hem of a mountain whose cleanliness has ended and only impurity remains, and as long as one of you fears Allah, he will remain upon goodness. And when something troubles his heart and he comes to a man and finds a cure from him—by God! It is possible that you may not find him.
