Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily this world is an abode, the beginning of which is pain and its end is annihilation. In its lawful there is accounting and in its forbidden there is punishment. One who is wealthy in it is tested and one who is poor in it is sorrowful.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ الدُّنيا دارٌ أوَّلُها عَناءٌ وَ آخِرُها فَناءٌ في حَلالِها حِسابٌ وَفي حَرامِها عِقابٌ مَنِ اسْتَغْنى فيها فَتَنَ وَ مَنِ افْتَقَرَ فيها حَزِنَ
