Pearl of Wisdom

in his description of a believer, said, 'He neither desires repute in this world, nor does he grieve at its disgrace. People have their own matters of significance that they tend to, whilst he occupies himself with his own concerns.'

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]
Bihar al-Anwar, v. 67, p. 271, no. 3
