Imam al-Kazim (AS) once said while standing at a graveside, ‘Indeed something that ends with this [i.e. death] is worthy of its beginning being spent in abstemiousness. And indeed something that begins with this is worthy of its end being feared with apprehension.
الإمامُ الكاظمُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ عند قبرٍ حَضَرَهُ ـ: إنَّ شيئاً هذا آخِرُهُ لَحَقِيقٌ أن يُزهَدَ في أوَّلِهِ، وإنَّ شيئاً هذا أوَّلُهُ لَحَقِيقٌ أن يُخافَ آخِرُهُ.
