Uthman said that he was surprised at the conduct of a person: Who knows the world to be transient, yet loves it; Who knows death to be certain, yet does not take it seriously; Who believes in hell, yet commits sin; Who believes in the existence of God, yet seeks assistance from others, Who is aware of paradise, yet is engaged in worldly pleasures; Who knows Satan to be his enemy, yet obeys its dictates; Who believes in predestination, Yet feels aggrieved with what happens; Who knows that account is to be rendered on the day of resurrection' Yet hoards wealth.
