Imam Ali (AS) said, Let your concern be for your Hereafter and your sorrow be for your soul - for how many of the sorrowful have been led to everlasting bliss by their sorrow, and how many of the distressed have attained their aspiration.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إجْعَلْ هَمَّكَ لآخِرَتِكَ وَ حُزْنَكَ على نَفْسِكَ فَكَمْ مِنْ حَزين وَفَدَ بِهِ حُزْنُهُ على سرُورِ الأبَدِ وَكَمْ مِنْ مَهْمُوم أدْرَكَ أمَلَهُ
