28ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِما الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ عَجَبٌ كُلُّ الْعَجَبِ لِمَنْ أَنْكَرَ الْمَوْتَ وَهُوَ يَرَى مَنْ يَمُوتُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ وَالْعَجَبُ كُلُّ الْعَجَبِ لِمَنْ أَنْكَرَ النَّشْأَةَ الأخْرَى وَهُوَ يَرَى النَّشْأَةَ الأولَى.
28. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hisham ibn Salim from abu Hamzah who has said the following: “I heard Ali ibn al-Husayn عليه السلام, say, ‘The case of one who denies death is very odd indeed, while he sees people die every day and night. So also is the case of one who denies the next life while he observers the present life.’”
