Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s)
“What do I have to do with this world, and what does this world have to do with me? The story of me and the world is similar to that of a man who is riding on a hot day and reaches a tree. He takes a nap under the shade of the tree for a short while, and then goes on leaving the tree behind.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): ما لي وللدنيا وما أنا والدنيا، إنما مثلي ومثلها كمثل راكب رفعت له شجرة في يوم صائف فنام تحتها ثم راح وتركها.
