Imam Ali (AS) said, Blessed be the ones who renounce pleasures in the world and desire the [bounties of the] Hereafter. These are the ones who have taken the earth as their carpet, its dust as their beds, its water as their perfume, the Quran as their inner garment and supplication as their outer garment, and have subscribed themselves to the ways of the Messiah, Isa son of Maryam (‘a).
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : طُوبى لِلزّاهِدينَ فِي الدُّنيا الرّاغِبينَ فِي الآخِرَةِ أُولئكَ اتَّخَذُوا الأرْضَ بِساطاً وَ تُرابَها فِراشاً وَ مائَها طيباً وَ القُرآنَ شِعاراً وَ الدُّعاءَ دِثاراً وَ قَرَضُوا الدُّنيا على مِنهاجِ المَسيحِ عيسَى بْنَ مَريَمَ
