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
