 أَبِي رَحِمَهُ اَللَّهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ حُبَابٍ اَلْوَاسِطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ ع قَالَ : مَا أَقْبَحَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُ رَغْبَةٌ تُذِلُّهُ.

 My father, Allah may have mercy upon him, narrated from Sa’d bin Abdullah from … Hebbab al-Wasiti that Abu Abdullah (a) said: It is very ugly for a believer to be humiliated by his desires.
