Imam Ali (as): Imam Ali (AS) said to a man soliciting advice from him, 'Do not be like the one who... when he recovers from an illness, he feels vain about himself; when he is afflicted, he loses hope; if distress befalls him he prays like a bewildered man; and when he finds ease of life he falls into deceit and turns his face away...'
