al-Umr wa al-Shayb 28
Ibn Abi al-Dunya
«قَالَ: قِيلَ لِشَيْخٍ: مَا بَقِيَ مِنْكَ مِمَّا تُحِبُّ لَهُ الْحَيَاةَ؟ قَالَ: الْبُكَاءُ عَلَى الذُّنُوبِ»
Its text does not say these are the Prophet’s words ﷺ, so they are not framed in gold.
The text as printed
حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ، قَالَ: قِيلَ لِشَيْخٍ: مَا بَقِيَ مِنْكَ مِمَّا تُحِبُّ لَهُ الْحَيَاةَ؟ قَالَ: الْبُكَاءُ عَلَى الذُّنُوبِ
