Imam Ali (AS) said, Surely in front of you is a difficult place of ascension in which one whose weight is lighter is in a better position than the one whose weight is heavier, and the one who moves slowly is worse off than the one who moves swiftly. Verily its landing will lead you to either Paradise or hell.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنّ أمامَكَ عَقَبَةً كَؤُوداً اَلمُخِفُّ فيها أحْسَنُ حالاً مِنَ المُثْقِلِ والمُبْطِئُ عَلَيها أقْبَحُ أمْراً مِنَ المُسْرِعِ إنّ مَهْبِطَها بِكَ لامُحالَةَ على جَنَّة أوْ نار
