hadith 9974
Imam Ali (AS) said, Weigh your souls before they are weighed and hold them to account before they are held to account, and breathe before the throat is constricted, and follow submissively before you are driven by force.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : زِنُوا أنْفُسَكُمْ قَبْلَ أنْ تُوازَنُوا (تُوزَنُوا) وَحاسِبُوها قَبْلَ أنْ تُحاسَبُوا وَتَنَفَّسُوا مِنْ (قَبْلَ) ضِيقِ الخَناقِ (وانْقادُوا) قَبْلَ عُنْفِ السِّياقِ
