Caution against Negligence

Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Negligence is deviation [from the straight path].

Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Pitiable indeed is every negligent person that his whole life can be used as evidence against him and that his days lead him to wretchedness!

Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘So come to your senses, O listener, from your intoxication, wake up from your neglect, and reduce your hasty activity.

Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘O people who are not neglected [by Allah] and yet who neglect that which will be taken to account from them - how is it that I see you moving away from Allah and longing for others?!

Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘How many a negligent person weaves himself a garment in order that he might wear it whilst in reality it is his burial shroud, and who builds himself a house in which he may live but which is in fact his grave.

Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘If Satan is indeed an enemy, then why the negligence?!
