و درود خدا بر او فرمود: از حرام دنیا چشم پوش، تا خدا زشتیهای آن را به تو نمایاند، و غافل مباش که لحظه ای از تو غفلت نشود. Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, said: Abstain from the world so that Allah may show you its real evils and do not be neglectful…

وَ قَالَ (عليه السلام): ازْهَدْ فِي الدُّنْيَا يُبَصِّرْكَ اللَّهُ عَوْرَاتِهَا وَ لَا تَغْفُلْ فَلَسْتَ بِمَغْفُولٍ عَنْكَ.

Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, said: Abstain from the world so that Allah may show you its real evils and do not be neglectful because (in any case) you will not be neglected.
