I heard him (a.s.) recite the following poem:We all hope death to grant us more timeWhile death itself destroys all hopes.Let not false hopes fool you.Be moderate and abandon falsehood.This world is like a vanishing shadeA temporary resting place for ridersWho shall depart it shortly later.Then I asked the Imam (a.s.), “May God honor you! Who recited this?” He (a.s.) replied, “An Iraqi has said it for you.” I said, “Abul al-Atahiya recited this to me regarding himself.” The Imam (a.s.) said, “Call him by his own name. Abandon calling people by names that are a form of a put down. Indeed God the Glorified the Highest said, ‘…nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames…’ Perhaps the man detests this.”
