Whoever lives will be tested, whoever seeks out others will be lost, and whoever does not prepare patience for calamitous affairs will be rendered helpless."

٤٤ - حَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا خَوَّانَةٌ لَا يَدُومُ نَعِيمُهَا، وَلَا يُؤْمَنُ فَجَائِعُهَا، وَمَنْ يَعِشْ يُبْتَلَ، وَمَنْ يَتَفَقَّدْ يُفْقَدْ، وَمَنْ لَا يُعِدَّ صَبْرًا لِفَجَائِعِ الْأُمُورِ يَعْجَزْ»
