Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37975 — The words of al-Hasan al-Basri

It is narrated about Bakhtari al-Ta'i that he used to say: Envy the living for that for which you envy the dead. Know that worship is not sound without renunciation (zuhd). Be yielding at the time of obedience, be unyielding at the time of sin, and love people according to the measure of their piety.
