Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily that which was advancing towards this world has turned back from it, and that which had turned back has advanced towards it; and the righteous servants of Allah have decided to depart and have sold the little of this world that does not last for the abundance of the Hereafter that does not perish.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : ألا وَ إنَّهُ قَدْ أدْبَرَ مِنَ الدُّنيا ما كانَ مُقْبِلاً وَ أقْبَلَ مِنْها ما كانَ مُدْبِراً وَأزْمَعَ التَّرْحالَ عِبادُ اللّهِ الأخْيارُ وَ باعُوا قَليلاً مِنَ الدُّنيا لا يَبْقى بِكَثير مِنَ الآخِرَةِ لا يَفْنى
