Gleanings — Paragraph 703
Source (Arabic)
فانظروا في النّاس وقلّة عقولهم يطلبون ما يضرّهم ويتركون ما ينفعهم أَلَا إنّهم من الهآئمين إنّا نرى بعض النّاس أرادوا الحرّيّة ويفتخرون بها أولئك في جهل مبين
Translation
Consider the pettiness of men’s minds. They ask for that which injureth them, and cast away the thing that profiteth them. They are, indeed, of those that are far astray. We find some men desiring liberty, and priding themselves therein. Such men are in the depths of ignorance.
