"If loving the dunya were to be my only sin"

Hassan Al-Basri said:

لو لم تكن لنا ذنوب إلا حبنا الدنيا خشينا أن يعذبنا الله

ENGLISH:

"If loving the dunya were to be my only sin, even then I would fear Allah's punishment".

NEDERLANDS:

"Als de liefde voor de wereld de enige zonde was die ik had, dan noch zou ik Allah's straf vrezen!"

[“Kitaab Dham Ad-Dunya”, 3/394].
