Ali ibn Hadid narrated that Jesus, the son of Mary (a.s) delivered a sermon to the Israelites and said
“My life among you is such that I am always hungry, and eat the grass that grows for wild animals. Moonlight is my lamp at night, and the earth is my bed and the rocks are my pillows. I have no house that might get ruined, and have no savings that might get lost, and have no child who might die, and have no spouse who might get sad. I have nothing, yet I am the most needless man.”
عن علي بن حديد عمن رفعه قال
قال عيسى بن مريم - صلى الله عليه - في خطبة قام فيها في بني إسرائيل: أصبحت فيكم وإدامي الجوع، وطعامي ما تنبت الأرض للوحوش والأنعام، وسراجي القمر، وفراشي التراب، ووسادي الحجر، ليس لي بيت يخرب، ولا مال يتلف، ولا ولد يموت، ولا امرأة تحزن، وليس لي شئ وأنا أغنى ولد آدم.
