311 - Al-Ḥusayn b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān narrated to us from Aḥmad b. Abī al-Ḥawārī, who said: Jaʿfar b. Muḥammad narrated to me, saying: A wise man met another wise man in al-Mawṣil and said to him, "Do you long for the wide-eyed houris?" He said, "No." He said, "Then long for them, for the light of their faces is from the light of God, Mighty and Majestic." He then fainted and was carried to his home, and we continued to visit him for a month.
