Imam Ali (AS) said, The example of those who have known this world is like a group of travellers who abandon a drought-stricken place and set off for a fruitful and fertile place. Then they endure the difficulties of the path, the hardships of the journey and the coarseness of the food in order to reach their fields of plenty and the place of their [permanent] residence.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّما مَثَلُ مَنْ خَبِرَ (خَيَرَ) الدُّنْيا كَمَثَلِ قَوْم سَفْر نَبا بِهِمْ مَنْزِلٌ جَديبٌ فَأَمُّوا مَنْزِلاً خَصيباً وَ جَناباً مَريعاً فَاحْتَمَلُوا وَعْثاءَ الطَّريقِ وَ خَشُونَةَ السَّفَرِ وَ جُشُوبَةَ المَطْعَمِ لِيَأتُوا سَعَةَ دارِهِمْ وَ مَحلَّ قَرارِهِمْ
