سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ عَجَبٌ كُلُّ الْعَجَبِ لِمَنْ أَنْكَرَ الْمَوْتَ وَ هُوَ يَرَى مَنْ يَمُوتُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَ لَيْلَةٍ وَ الْعَجَبُ كُلُّ الْعَجَبِ لِمَنْ أَنْكَرَ النَّشْأَةَ الْأُخْرَى وَ هُوَ يَرَى النَّشْأَةَ الْأُولَى .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Abu Hamza who said, ‘I heard Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘The case of one who denies death is very odd indeed, while he sees people die every day and night. So also is the case of the one who denies the next life but he observes the present life (and what has grown from the dead)’.
