6ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): ما لابنِ آدمَ والفَخرِ؟! أوَّلُهُ نُطفَةٌ، وآخِرُهُ جِيفَةٌ، ولا يَرزُقُ نفسَهُ، ولا يَدفَعُ حَتفَهُ. |
| 6– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘What is it with the son of Adam [human being] and pride?! His beginning is a sperm and his end is a carcass. He cannot sustain himself, nor can he repel death.’[Nahj al-Balagha, Saying 454.] |

7ـ الإمامُ زينُ العابدينَ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): عَجَباً للمُتَكبِّرِ الفَخورِ الذي كانَ بالأمسِ نُطفَةً ثُمّ هُو غَداً جِيفَةٌ! |
| 7– Imam Zayn al-Abidin (AS) said, ‘It is surprising to see an arrogant and proud person who yesterday was but a sperm and tomorrow will be but a carcass.’[al-Kafi, v. 2, p. 328, no. 1] |
