English Translation

Yusuf al-Qadi narrated to us, from Amr ibn Marzuq, from Shu'bah, from Salamah ibn Kuhayl, from Abu al-Za'ra', from Abdullah who said: 'A time will surely come upon you when a man will pass by a grave and say: Would that I were in the place of this one. It will not be out of love for meeting Allah, but due to the severity of the afflictions he sees.' It was said: 'What is best at that time?' He said: 'A strong horse and weapons with which a man can move wherever he goes.'
