43-3 (The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’d ibn Abdullah quoted on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Hashem, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Mogheera that he had heard Abal Hassan Ar-Ridha’  say:Now you live in a residence short-livedIn which your deeds are accepted indeed.See you not how death encompasses us allAnd destroys our aspirations all.There you rush to fulfill your lustful desiresAnd procrastinate your repentanceBut death will overcome you by surpriseBut what will the intelligent learn from this?
