حکمت 203: ای مردم! از خدایی بترسید که اگر سخنی گویید… · Saying 203

وَ قَالَ (عليه السلام): أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي إِنْ قُلْتُمْ سَمِعَ وَ إِنْ أَضْمَرْتُمْ عَلِمَ وَ بَادِرُوا الْمَوْتَ الَّذِي إِنْ هَرَبْتُمْ مِنْهُ أَدْرَكَكُمْ وَ إِنْ أَقَمْتُمْ أَخَذَكُمْ وَ إِنْ نَسِيتُمُوهُ ذَكَرَكُمْ

Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, said: O People! Fear Allah who is such that when you speak He hears and when you conceal (a secret) He knows it. Preparee yourselves to meet death which will overtake you even if you run away, catch you even if you stay and remember you even if you forget it.
