وَ قَالَ (عليه السلام): لِبَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ لَا تَجْعَلَنَّ أَكْثَرَ شُغُلِكَ بِأَهْلِكَ وَ وَلَدِكَ فَإِنْ يَكُنْ أَهْلُكَ وَ وَلَدُكَ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَوْلِيَاءَهُ وَ إِنْ يَكُونُوا أَعْدَاءَ اللَّهِ فَمَا هَمُّكَ وَ شُغُلُكَ بِأَعْدَاءِ اللَّهِ

Aimr al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, said to one of his companions. Do not devote much of your activity to your wife and your children, because if your wife and children are lovers of Allah then He will not leave His livers uncared for, and if they are enemies of Allah then why should you worry and keep yourself busy about the enemies of Allah.
