43 - ʿAlī ibn Muslim narrated to me, Sayyār narrated to us, Riyāḥ ibn ʿAmr al-Qaysī narrated to us, saying: I heard Mālik ibn Dīnār say: "There is no righteous deed except that before it lies an obstacle; if its practitioner exercises patience, it leads him to relief, and if he despairs, he turns back."
