Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) said: “Do not allocate most of your time for your family and children, since if they are from God's friends. God will not forget His friends, and if they are from the enemies of God, why should you worry about and work so hard for the enemies of God.”
قال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): لا تجعلن أكثر شغلك بأهلك وولدك، فإن يكن أهلك وولدك أولياء الله فالله لا يضيع أولياءه، وإن يكونوا أعداء الله فما همك وشغلك بأعداء الله.
