Pearl of Wisdom

The Commander of the Faithful, blessings of Allah be upon him, used to say, ?O son of Adam! If only you sought from the world enough to satisfy your needs, indeed the very least from it would be enough to satisfy your needs. But if instead you desire more than your needs, then truly everything that it contains will not suffice you.'

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

Ibid. p. 138, no. 6
