۞
Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily the hearts of those who renounce worldly pleasures weep even when they laugh, and their sadness intensifies even when they are [apparently] happy, and their self-loathing increases even though they are [apparently] delighted with what they are given.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ الزّاهِدينَ فِي الدُّنيا لَتَبْكي قُلُوبُهُمْ وَ إنْ ضَحِكُوا وَ يَشْتَدُّ حُزْنُهمْ وَ إنْ فَرِحُوا وَ يَكْثُرُ مَقْتُهُمْ أنْفُسَهُمْ وَ إنِ اغْتُبِطُوا بِما أُوتُوا
