Pearl of Wisdom

'I asked Abu 'Abdillah [al-Sadiq] (AS), 'You narrate that ?Ali b. Abi Talib (AS) wore rough clothes whilst you wear soft and fine clothes!' He (AS) said, 'Woe unto you! ?Ali b. Abi Talib (AS) lived in a time of difficulty, so if it is a time of ampleness the righteous deserve it more.'
