hadith 3198
Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily this world is the abode of tribulations and the place of trials, whoever seeks it is evade by it and whoever keeps away from it, it advances towards him; the one who looks at it gets blinded by it and the one who looks through it, gets enlightened by it.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ الدُّنيا دارُ مِحَن وَ مَحَلُّ فِتَن مَنْ ساعاها فاتَتْهُ وَ مَنْ قَعَدَ عَنْها واتَتْهُ وَمَنْ أبْصَرَ إلَيْها أعْمَتْهُ وَ مَنْ بَصُرَ بِها (أبْصَرَ بِها) بَصَّرَتْهُ

hadith 3205
Imam Ali (AS) said, Indeed this world is an abode known for [its] tribulation and fraught with disloyalty. Its states do not last and those who inhabit it do not remain safe. Life in it is dispraised and security in it is non-existent.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ الدُّنيا دارٌ بالبَلاءِ مَعْرُوفَةٌ وَ بالغَدْرِ مَوصُوفَةٌ لاتَدومُ أحْوالُها وَلا يَسْلَمُ نُزَّالُها اَلعَيْشُ فيها مَذْمُومٌ وَ الأمانُ فيها مَعْدُومٌ

hadith 3219
Imam Ali (AS) said, Indeed Allah, the Exalted, has made this world for that which comes after it, and in it He has tests its inhabitants so that He may know who from among of them is best in conduct. We have not been created for this world and we have not been commanded to strive for it, rather we have only been placed in it in order to be tested and [so] that we may work in it for what is [to come] after it.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ اللّهَ تعالى جَعَلَ الدُّنيا لِما بَعْدَها وَ ابْتَلى فيها أهْلَها لِيَعْلَمَ أيُّهُمْ أحْسَنُ عَمَلاً وَ لَسْنا لِلدُّنيا خُلِقْنا وَلا بِالسَّعيِ لَها اُمِرْنا وَ إنَّما وُضِعْنا فيها لِنُبْتَلى بِها وَ نَعْمَلَ فيها لِما بَعْدَها

hadith 3222
Imam Ali (AS) said, Safety in this world is not acquired except by its renunciation. People are tested in it through tribulations so those who have taken from it for its sake will be removed from it [by death] and will be made accountable for it. And whatever they have taken from it for the other world, they will go to it and will stay in it. For the wise one this world is like a shade – at one moment it expands until [the next moment] it shrinks and extends until it diminishes. And Allah has left you with no excuse by forbidding from it, and he has warned and cautioned you about it – so He has apprised you of it.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ الدُّنيا لايُسْلَمُ مِنْها إلاَّ بِالزُّهْدِ فيها اُبْتُليَ النّاسُ بِها فِتْنَةً فَما أخَذُوا مِنْها لَها أُخْرِجُوا مِنْهُ وَ حُوسِبُوا عَلَيْهِ وَ ماأخَذُوا مِنْها لِغَيرِها قَدِمُوا عَلَيْهِ وأقامُوا فيهِ وَ إنَّها عِندَ ذَوِي العُقُولِ كَالظِّلِّ بَيْنا تَراهُ سائِغاً حَتّى قَلَصَ وَ زائِداً حَتّى نَقَصَ وَ قَدْ أعْذَرَ اللّهُ سُبْحانَهُ إلَيْكُمْ فِي النَّهيِ عَنْها وَ أنْذَرَكُمْ وَ حَذَّرَكُمْ مِنْها فَأبْلَغَ
