Imam Ali (AS), in his description of the most wonderful thing in man, which is the heart, said, ‘If it comes across riches, freedom from need makes it rebellious. If calamity befalls it, it is humbled by anguish.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ في صفةِ أعجَبِ ما فِي الإنسانِ وهُو القَلبُ ـ: إن أفادَ مالاً أطغاهُ الغِنى، وإن أصابَتهُ مُصيبَةٌ فَضَحَهُ الجَزَعُ.
