حکمت 77: (ضرار بن حمزه ضبابی از یاران امام به شام… · Saying 77

وَ مِنْ خَبَرِ ضِرَارِ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ الضَّبَائِيِّ عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِ عَلَي مُعَاوِيَةَ وَ مَسْأَلَتِهِ لَهُ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) وَ قَالَ فَأَشْهَدُ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي بَعْضِ مَوَاقِفِهِ وَ قَدْ أَرْخَي اللَّيْلُ سُدُولَهُ وَ هُوَ قَائِمٌ فِي مِحْرَابِهِ قَابِضٌ عَلَي لِحْيَتِهِ يَتَمَلْمَلُ تَمَلْمُلَ السَّلِيمِ وَ يَبْكِي بُكَاءَ الْحَزِينِ وَ يَقُولُ:

يَا دُنْيَا يَا دُنْيَا إِلَيْكِ عَنِّي أَ بِي تَعَرَّضْتِ أَمْ إِلَيَّ تَشَوَّقْتِ لَا حَانَ حِينُكِ هَيْهَاتَ غُرِّي غَيْرِي لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيكِ قَدْ طَلَّقْتُكِ ثَلَاثاً لَا رَجْعَةَ فِيهَا فَعَيْشُكِ قَصِيرٌ وَ خَطَرُكِ يَسِيرٌ وَ أَمَلُكِ حَقِيرٌ آهِ مِنْ قِلَّةِ الزَّادِ وَ طُولِ الطَّرِيقِ وَ بُعْدِ السَّفَرِ وَ عَظِيمِ الْمَوْرِدِ.

It is related that when Dirar ibn Hamzah (the correct: Damrah) al-Dibabi "or al-Suda'i" went to Muawiyah and Muawiyah enquired from him about Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be up on him, he said: I stand witness that I have seen him on sereral occasions when night had spread and he was standing in the niche (of the mosque) holding his beard, groaning like a man bitten by a snake and weeping as a rtieved man, saying: O world! O world! Get away from me. Why do you present yourself to me? Or are you eger for me? You may not get that opportunity to impress me. Deceive some other person. I have no concern with you. I have divorced you three times whereafter there is nor restiution. Your life is short, your importance is little and your liking is humble. Alas! The provision is little, the way is long, the journey is far and the goal is hard to reach
