Pearl of Wisdom
to a group of healthy people sitting down in a corner of the mosque [not working], 'Who are you?' to which they replied, We are the ones who place our trust in Allah.' He said, 'No, rather you are theabraded.'
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] Mustadrak al-Wasa'il, v. 11, p. 220, no. 12798

When Imam Ali (a) appointed Shuray bin Hani |

Letter 56 When Imam Ali (a) appointed Shuray bin Hani as commanding officer of the vanguard of his army, which was marching towards Syria, he gave Hani the following instructions.
Day and night keep the fear of Allah in your mind. Be afraid of this alluring and vicious world, never trust it. If you do not check yourself from the desire of acquiring inordinate things then your mind will surely drive you towards losses. Therefore, have a complete watch and command over yourself and at the time of anger and annoyance see that you do not lose your temper.
