Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily the one who observes with his heart and acts with foresight begins his action by first looking at [the consequence of] his action, is it his favour or against him; if it is in his favour then he goes ahead with it and if it is against him then he holds back from [doing] it.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ النّاظِرَ بِالقَلْبِ اَلعامِلَ بِالبَصَرِ يَكُونُ مُبْتَدَأُ عَمَلِهِ أنْ يَنْظُرَ عَمَلَهُ عَلَيْهِ أمْ لَهُ فَإنْ كانَ لَهُ مَضى فيهِ وَ إنْ كانَ عَلَيْهِ وَقَفَ عَنْهُ
