Four Signs of the Wretched

 

Four Signs of the Wretched

It is reported that Al-Hasan Al-Basrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Four signs of wretchedness are: [having] a hard heart, dry eyes [that never cry], extended hopes [about this life], and greed and keenness to amass worldly things (the dunyā).

Ibn Abī Al-Dunyā, Kitāb Al-Zuhd article 36.
