Al-Rayyan b. al-Salt narrated that Imam al-Rida (AS) recited some verses he had composed for Aabd al-Muttalib
All of people place the blame on time, / When the trouble with time is only ourselves; / We reprove time while the fault lies within us, / If time could speak, it would surely mock us. / The wolf shuns the meat of a fellow wolf, / Whereas we devour each other in broad daylight. / Attired to deceive with our polished teeth, / Yet woe betide the stranger when he approaches us.
عيون أخبار الرِّضا عن الرَّيّانِ بنِ الصَّلتِ
أنشَدَنِي الرِّضا (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) لعبدِالمُطَّلِبِ: يَعِيبُ الناسُ كُلُّهُمُ زَماناً / وما لِزَمانِنا عَيبٌ سِوانا / نَعِيبُ زَمانَنا والعَيبُ فِينا / ولو نَطَقَ الزَّمانُ بِنا هَجانا / وإنَّ الذِئبَ يَترُكُ لَحمَ ذِئبٍ / ويَأكُلُ بَعضُنا بَعضا عِيانا / لَبِسْنا لِلخداعِ مسوكَ طِيبٍ / ووَيلٌ لِلغَرِيبِ إذا أتانا.
