و درود خدا بر او فرمود: چیز اندک که با اشتیاق تداوم یابد، بهتر از فراوان رنج آور است. Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, said: A little that lasts is better than much that brings grief.

وَ قَالَ (عليه السلام):

قَلِيلٌ مَدُومٌ عَلَيْهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ كَثِيرٍ مَمْلُولٍ مِنْهُ.

Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, said: A little that lasts is better than much that brings grief.
