Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily this world is a hindering deception, a disappearing shadow and a bent pillar, it connects bounty with calamity and aspiration with death.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ الدُّنيا غَرُورٌ حائِلٌ وَ ظِلٌّ زائِلٌ وَ سِنادٌ مائِلٌ تَصِلُ العَطِيَّةَ بِالرَزيَّةِ والأُمْنِيَّةَ بِالمَنِيَّةِ
