Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَلِيٍّ عَن أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ يَقُولُ مَا أَبْعَدَ هَدْيَكُمْ مِنْ هَدْيِ نَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَّا هُوَ فَكَانَ أَزْهَدَ النَّاسِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَأَنْتُمْ أَرْغَبُ النَّاسِ فِيهَا.
English Translation
'Abd al-Rahman b. Mahdi told us, he said: Musa — meaning Ibn 'Ali — told us, from his father, who said: I heard 'Amr b. al-'As say: "How far your way is from the way of your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)! As for him, he was the most ascetic of people regarding this world, while you are the most desirous of people for it."
