حماد بن عيسى عن الحسين بن المختار عن إسماعيل بن أبي حمزة قال: حدثني جابر قال: قال لي أبو جعفر عليه السلام يا جابر انزل الدنيا منك كمنزل نزلته ثم أردت التحرك منه من يومك ذلك أو كمال اكتسبته في منامك واستيقظت فليس في يدك منه شئ وإذا كنت في جنازة فكن كأنك أنت المحمول وكأنك سألت ربك الرجعة إلى الدنيا لتعمل عمل من عاش فان الدنيا عند العلماء مثل الظل.
13.Ḥammād ibn ʿĪsā narrated from al-Ḥusayn ibn al-Mukhtār, from Ismāʾīl ibn Abī Ḥamzah who said, “Jābir narrated to me saying, ‘Abū Jaʿfar  said to me, ‘O Jābir, take this world as you would a place where you have arrived and then wish to depart from on the very same day, or as wealth that you have earned in your dream and when you awake there is nothing of it in your hand. And when you are at a funeral, then be as though it is you who is being carried [to your grave] and as though you are the one who is asking his Lord to send him back to the world so that you may work [and perform the deeds] like those who are living, for indeed to the learned, this world is like the shadow [that soon passes].”
