Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37297 — The words of Ibn Masud
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).
Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "What has passed of this world is like a rock pool whose clear water has been drunk and only its murky water remains. Each one of you will remain upon good as long as he fears Allah, and when something troubles his heart, he comes to a man who cures him of it. By Allah, it may well be that you will not find him."
