Imam Ali (AS) said, How wretched the son of Adam is! His death is hidden, his ailments concealed, his every action recorded, harmed by the bite of a mosquito, made malodorous by perspiration and caused to die by [something as simple as] choking.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : مِسْكينٌ اِبْنُ آدَمَ مَكْتُومُ الأجَلِ مَكْنُونُ العِلَلِ مَحفُوظُ العَمَلِ تُؤْلِمُهُ البَقَّةُ وَ تُنْتِنُهُ العَرَقَةُ وَ تَقْتُلُهُ الشَّرْقَةُ
