hadith 2466
Imam Ali (AS) said, I am the one who turn this world over on its face, gauges it according to its true value and drives it back on its heels.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : أنَا كابُّ الدُّنْيا لِوَجْهِها وَ قادِرُها بِقَدْرِها وَ رادُّها عَلى عَقِبِها

hadith 2486
Imam Ali (AS) said, He (‘a) said about the Prophet of Allah (s): He left this world hungry but entered the next world in soundness. He did not lay one brick upon another [to make a house for himself] until he passed away and responded to the caller of his Lord.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : وَ قالَ ـ عَلَيهِ السّلامُ ـ في ذِكْرِ رَسُولِ اللّهِ صلَّى اللّه عليه و آله و سلَّم: خَرَجَ مِنَ الدُّنْيا خَمِيصاً وَوَرَدَ الآخِرَةَ سَلِيماً لَمْ يَضَعْ حَجَراً عَلى حَجَر حَتّى مَضى لِسَبِيلِهِ وَ أجابَ داعِيَ رَبِّهِ

hadith 2499
Imam Ali (AS) said, He said while remembering the Messenger of Allah (s): He belittled this world, took it lightly and treated it with disdain; he knew that Allah willed to keep it away from him while He bestowed it to others as a trial.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : وَقالَ وَقالَ ـ عَلَيْهِ السّلام ـ في ذِكْرِ رَسُولِ اللّهِ صلَّى اللّه عليه و آله و سلَّم: قَدْ حَقَّرَ الدُّنيا وَ أهْوَنَ بِها وَهَوَّنَها وَ عَلِمَ أنَّ اللّهَ زَواها عَنْهُ اخْتِياراً وَ بَسَطَها لِغَيْرِهِ اخْتباراً

hadith 2502
Imam Ali (AS) said, I have patched this shirt of mine so much that I am now ashamed of [taking it again to] the tailor. Someone asked me: Will you not discard it? I replied: Get away from me! Only at dawn do people speak highly of the [arduous] night journey.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : لَقَدْ رَقَعْتُ مِدْرَعَتِي هذِهِ حَتَّى اسْتَحْيَيْتُ مِنْ راقِعِها فَقالَ لي قائِلٌ ألا تَنْبِذُها ؟ فَقُلتُ لَهُ: أُعْزُبْ عَنِّي عَلَى الصَّباحِ يَحْمَدُ القَوْمُ السُّرى

hadith 2531
Imam Ali (AS) said, Knowledge has led them to real understanding and they have acquired the spirit of conviction. They take easy what the easygoing regard as hard. They are comfortable with that which the ignorant are repelled by. They live in this world with their bodies but their spirits are in the higher realm. They are the vicegerents of Allah on His earth and the callers to His religion. Ah, ah! How I yearn to see them.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : هَجَمَ بِهِمُ الْعِلْمُ عَلى حَقيقَةِ الإيمانِ (الْبَصيرةِ) وَ باشَرُوا رُوحَ اليَقينِ فاَسْتَسْهَلُوا (فَاسْتَلانُوا) مَا اسْتَوْعَرَ المُتْرَفُونَ وَ أنِسُوا بِمَا اسْتَوْحَشَ مِنْهُ الجاهِلُونَ وَ صَحِبُوا الدُّنيا بِأبْدان أرْواحُها مُعَلَّقَةٌ بِالمَحَلِّ الأعْلى أُولئِكَ خُلَفاءُ اللّهِ فِي أرْضِهِ وَ الدُّعاةُ إلى دينِهِ آه آه شَوْقاً إلى رُؤْيَتِهِمْ
