أَحْيِ قَلْبَكَ بِالْمَوْعِظَةِ وَ أَمِتْهُ بِالزَّهَادَةِ وَ قَوِّهِ بِالْيَقِينِ وَ نَوِّرْهُ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَ ذَلِّلْهُ بِذِكْرِ الْمَوْتِ وَ قَرِّرْهُ بِالْفَنَاءِ وَ بَصِّرْهُ فَجَائِعَ الدُّنْيَا.

Imam Ali (as):

Revive your heart with exhortations, and kill it will asceticism, strengthen it with conviction, enlighten it with wisdom, subdue it by remembering death, make it acknowledge mortality, make it see the misfortunate of this world.

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

مَنْ زَهِدَ فِي الدُّنْيَا أَثْبَتَ اللَّهُ الْحِكْمَةَ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَ أَنْطَقَ بِهَا لِسَانَهُ وَ بَصَّرَهُ عُيُوبَ الدُّنْيَا دَاءَهَا وَ دَوَاءَهَا وَ أَخْرَجَهُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا سَالِماً إِلَى دَارِ السَّلَامِ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Whoever abstains from worldly pleasures, Allah will establish wisdom in his heart, make it flow from his tongue, open his eyes to the flaws of the world, its ailment and its remedy, and will take him out of the world safely into the Abode of Peace.

رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):

مَنِ ازْدَادَ فِي الْعِلْمِ رُشْداً وَ لَمْ يَزْدَدْ فِي الدُّنْيَا زُهْداً لَمْ يَزْدَدْ مِنَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا بُعْدا

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

He who does not increase in asceticism from worldly pleasures in spite of an increase in his knowledge only gets further away from Allah.

الإمام محمد الباقر (عليه السَّلام):

الامام الباقر «ع»- فيما وصف به النبيّ «ص»: َ يَا مُحَمَّدُ لَعَلَّكَ تَرَى أَنَّهُ شَبِعَ مِنْ خُبْزِ الْبُرِّ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مُتَوَالِيَةٍ- مِنْ أَنْ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى أَنْ قَبَضَه‏؟ .. لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا شَبِعَ مِنْ خُبْزِ الْبُرِّ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مُتَوَالِيَةٍ مُنْذُ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى أَنْ قَبَضَهُ أَمَا إِنِّي لَا أَقُولُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ لَا يَجِدُ لَقَدْ كَانَ يُجِيزُ الرَّجُلَ الْوَاحِدَ بِالْمِائَةِ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ فَلَوْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ لَأَكَل‏.

Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (as):

You might think that the prophet spent three consecutive days having eaten to his full since the time Allah mandated him with prophethood until He seized his soul. No, by Allah, he was never satiated for three consecutive days eversince he was commissioned with prophethood until he was taken [to his Lord]. It was not because he did not have access to enough food; he would, sometimes, reward a person with one hundred camels; so had he wanted, he could have eaten.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

وَ اللَّهِ‏ لَوْ أُعْطِيتُ الْأَقَالِيمَ السَّبْعَةَ بِمَا تَحْتَ أَفْلَاكِهَا عَلَى أَنْ أَعْصِيَ اللَّهَ فِي نَمْلَةٍ أَسْلُبُهَا جُلْبَ شَعِيرَةٍ مَا فَعَلْتُهُ وَ إِنَّ دُنْيَاكُمْ عِنْدِي لَأَهْوَنُ مِنْ وَرَقَةٍ فِي فَمِ جَرَادَةٍ تَقْضَمُهَا.

Imam Ali (as):

By Allah, if I was given all the seven domains with all that exists under its celestial spheres in order that I may disobey Allah to the extent of snatching a single grain of barley from an ant, I would not do it. Verily your world to me is more worthless than a leaf being gnawed at in the mouth of a locust.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

فَدَعُونِي أَكْتَفِي مِنْ دُنْيَاكُمْ بِمِلْحِي وَ أَقْرَاصِي فَبِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ أَرْجُو خَلَاصِي مَا لِعَلِيٍّ وَ نَعِيمٍ يَفْنَى وَ لَذَّةٍ تَنْحَتُهَا الْمَعَاصِي سَأَلْقَى وَ شِيعَتِي رَبَّنَا بِعُيُونٍ سَاهِرَةٍ، وَ بُطُونٍ خِمَاص‏

Imam Ali (as):

Let me suffice with salt and some loaves of bread out of [the comforts of] your world, for I see felicity to be secured only through God-wariness. What does Ali have to do with a bounty which is bound to perish and an enjoyment provided through sin? My Shia and I will meet our Lord with eyes which kept awake [at nights] and with empty stomachs.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

أَلَا وَ إِنَّ إِمَامَكُمْ قَدِ اِكْتَفَى مِنْ دُنْيَاهُ بِطِمْرَيْهِ وَ مِنْ طُعْمِهِ بِقُرْصَيْهِ .أَلَا وَ إِنَّكُمْ لاَ تَقْدِرُونَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ لَكِنْ أَعِينُونِي بِوَرَعٍ وَ اِجْتِهَادٍ وَ عِفَّةٍ وَ سَدَادٍ . فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا كَنَزْتُ مِنْ دُنْيَاكُمْ تِبْراً وَ لاَ اِدَّخَرْتُ مِنْ غَنَائِمِهَا وَفْراً وَ لاَ أَعْدَدْتُ لِبَالِي ثَوْبِي طِمْراً

Imam Ali (as):

Realize that your Imam has contented himself with two shabby pieces of clothes out of the (comforts of the) world and two loaves of bread for his meal. Certainly, you cannot live like that but at least assist me with piety, exertion, chastity and uprightness, because, by Allah, I have not treasured any gold from your world nor have I amassed plentiful wealth.

حرامٌ على قلوبِكُم أنْ تعرِفَ حَلاوةَ الإيمانِ حتّى تَزهَدَ في الدّنيا .

It is prohibited for your hearts to experience the sweetness of faith until they abstain from this world [i.e. its pleasures].

رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):

لا يجِدُ الرّجلُ حلاوةَ الإيمانِ في قَلبهِ حتّى لا يُباليَ مَن أكلَ الدُّنيا .

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

A person will never savour the taste of faith until he does not care who gets to have and enjoy [the bounties of] this world.
