Imam Ali (AS) said, It is not for the intelligent one to move out [of his home] except for three things: to do something to improve his Hereafter, or to earn his livelihood, or to enjoy what is not forbidden.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : لَيْسَ لِلْعاقِلِ أنْ يَكُونَ شاخِصاً إلاّ في ثَلاث: حُظْوَة (خُطوَة) في مَعاد أوْ مَرَمَّة في مَعاش أو لَذَّة في غَيْرِ مُحَرَّم
