hadith 4528
Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Verily the world is a house of deception and deceit, it takes a spouse everyday, kills a family every night and splits up a group every hour.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): ألا وإنّ الدنيا دارٌ غَرّارةٌ خَدّاعةٌ ، تَنكِحُ في كلِّ يومٍ بَعْلاً ، وتَقتُلُ في كلِّ ليلةٍ أهلاً ، وتُفَرِّقُ في كلِّ ساعةٍ شَملاً .
