الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

طَالِبٍ لِلدُّنْيَا لَمْ يُدْرِكْهَا ، وَ مُدْرِكٍ لَهَا قَدْ فَارَقَهَا؛ فَلَا يَشْغَلَنَّكَ‏ طَلَبُهَا عَنْ عَمَلِكَ، وَ الْتَمِسْهَا مِنْ مُعْطِيهَا وَ مَالِكِهَا، فَكَمْ‏ مِنْ حَرِيصٍ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا قَدْ صَرَعَتْهُ، وَ اشْتَغَلَ بِمَا أَدْرَكَ مِنْهَا عَنْ طَلَبِ آخِرَتِهِ حَتّى‏ فَنِيَ‏ عُمُرُهُ، وَ أَدْرَكَهُ أَجَلُهُ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Many a seeker of the world who did not achieve it, and many a person who, as soon as he achieved the world, departed from it; so let not seeking the world preoccupy you from performing good deeds, and seek the world from its granter and owner, for many a covetous person for the world who was struck down by it, who was preoccupied by what he had secured of this world from seeking his hereafter until his life came to an end and his death overtook him.

Abū Jaʿfar, Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb b. Isḥāq al-Kulaynī Al-Rāzī (Arabic: ابوجعفر، محمّد بن یعقوب بن اسحاق الرازی) (c. 255/868-9 - 329/941) was among the greatest Shi'a hadith scholars and the author of al-Kafi, the most authentic Shi'a hadith collection and one the Four Books. He was born after the martyrdom of Imam al-'Askari (a), at the time of Imam al-Mahdi (a) and met some hadith transmitters who directly had heard hadiths from Imam al-Hadi (a) and Imam al-'Askari (a). It is said that al-Kulayni was very accurate in transmitting hadiths. Ibn Qulawayh, Muhammad b. Ali Majilawayh al-Qummi, Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Zurari were among his students.
