Pearl of Wisdom

regarding someone who wanted to go hunting for amusement, said, 'A believer is too busy for that; acquiring the Hereafter preoccupies him away from amusements...' until he said, 'A believer is too busy for all this, and what does he have to do with amusement, for amusement engenders hard-heartedness and hypocrisy.'

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]

al-Usul al-Sittah 'Ashr, p. 51
