فَفَزِعَ إِلَى مَا كَانَ عَوَّدَهُ الْأَطِبَّاءُ مِنْ...
فَفَزِعَ إِلَى مَا كَانَ عَوَّدَهُ الْأَطِبَّاءُ مِنْ تَسْكِينِ الْحَارِّ بِالْقَارِّ وَ تَحْرِيكِ الْبَارِدِ بِالْحَارِّ فَلَمْ يُطْفِئْ بِبَارِدٍ إِلَّا ثَوَّرَ حَرَارَةً وَ لَا حَرَّكَ بِحَارٍّ إِلَّا هَيَّجَ بُرُودَةً وَ لَا اعْتَدَلَ بِمُمَازِجٍ لِتِلْكَ الطَّبَائِعِ إِلَّا أَمَدَّ مِنْهَا كُلَّ ذَاتِ دَاءٍ حَتَّى فَتَرَ مُعَلِّلُهُ وَ ذَهَلَ مُمَرِّضُهُ وَ تَعَايَا أَهْلُهُ بِصِفَةِ دَائِهِ وَ خَرِسُوا عَنْ جَوَابِ السَّائِلينَ عَنْهُ So he panicked to what the doctors had familiarised him for settling the heat with the cold, and stirring the cold with the hot.
But nothing was extinguished with the cold except eruption of (more) heat, nor stirred by the hot except agitating (more) coldness, nor could he adjust the mood of that nature except there was an extension from it of every with a disease until his illnesses increased and his nurses were helpless and his family lost the ability to describe his illness and they were mute from answering the questioners about him.
وَ تَنَازَعُوا دُونَهُ شَجِيَّ خَبَرٍ يَكْتُمُونَهُ فَقَائِلٌ يَقُولُ هُوَ لِمَا بِهِ وَ مُمَنٍ لَهُمْ إِيَابَ عَافِيَتِهِ وَ مُصَبِّرٌ لَهُمْ عَلَى فَقْدِهِ يُذَكِّرُهُمْ أُسَى الْمَاضِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ And they contended with each other besides him, concealing the serious news.
A speaker said, ‘He is with what he is with’, and he consoled them with hopes of his good health, and (someone) advised them with being patient upon his loss reminding them of the examples of the past ones from before him.
فَبَيْنَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ عَلَى جَنَاحٍ مِنْ فِرَاقِ الدُّنْيَا وَ تَرْكِ الْأَحِبَّةِ إِذْ عَرَضَ لَهُ عَارِضٌ مِنْ غُصَصِهِ فَتَحَيَّرَتْ نَوَافِذُ فِطْنَتِهِ وَ يَبِسَتْ رُطُوبَةُ لِسَانِهِ While he was like that upon a wing (verge) of separating from the world and leaving the life, when a choke from his chokings presented to him. The implementations of his discernments was bewildered, and wetness of his tongue dried up.
فَكَمْ مِنْ مُهِمٍّ مِنْ جَوَابِهِ عَرَفَهُ فَعَيَ عَنْ رَدِّهِ وَ دُعَاءٍ مُؤْلِمٍ بِقَلْبِهِ سَمِعَهُ فَتَصَامَّ عَنْهُ مِنْ كَبِيرٍ كَانَ يُعَظِّمُهُ أَوْ صَغِيرٍ كَانَ يَرْحَمُهُ وَ إِنَّ لِلْمَوْتِ لَغَمَرَاتٍ هِيَ أَفْظَعُ مِنْ أَنْ تُسْتَغْرَقَ بِصِفَةٍ أَوْ تَعْتَدِلَ عَلَى عُقُولِ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا How many important question he knew its answer but he was unable to respond to it, and a call painful to his heart, he heard it but was deaf from it, from an elder he used to revere or a young one he used to be merciful with.
