Pearl of Wisdom
'By Allah, I would rather pass a night awake on the thorns of prickly bush or be driven in chains as a prisoner than meet Allah and His Messenger on the Day of Resurrection as having wronged anyone ...' By Allah, even if I am given all the domains of the seven heavens with all that exists under the skies in exchange for disobeying Allah to the extent of snatching away one grain of barley from an ant, I would never do it.'
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 224

Sermon 80 About the way of preaching and counselling
O' people! abstinence is to shorten desires, to thank for bounties and to keep off prohibitions. If this is possible then (at least) the prohibitions should not overpower your patience. Allah has exhausted the excuse before you through clear, shining arguments and open, bright books.
