۞
Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily the soul commands towards evil and indecency, so whoever trusts it, it deceives him and whoever has confidence in it, it destroys him and whoever is pleased with it, it makes him enter the worst of places.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ النَّفْسَ لأمّارَةٌ بِالسُّوءِ وَ الفَحْشاءِ فَمَنِ ائْتَمَنَها خانَتْهُ وَ مَنِ اسْتَنامَ إلَيْها أهْلَكَتْهُ وَ مَنْ رَضِيَ عَنْها أوْرَدَتْهُ شَرَّ المَوارِدِ
