هَوانُ الدُّنيا عَلَى اللّه‏ِ The Lowliness of the World in Allah’s Eyes

57ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): يقولُ اللّه‏ُ: لولا عَبدي المؤمنُ لَعَصَّبْتُ رأسَ الكافِرِ بعِصابةٍ مِن جَوهَرٍ.

57– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Allah says, ‘Were it not for My believing servant, I would have tied a headband of jewels around the head of the disbeliever.’[al-Tamhid, p. 47, no. 73]
 

58ـ رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): لو أنّ الدنيا كانَت تَعدِلُ عند اللّه‏ِ عزّوجلّ جَناحَ بَعوضَةٍ ما سَقَى الكافِرَ والفاجرَ مِنها شَربَةً مِن ماءٍ.

58– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘If the world was worth the same as the wing of a mosquito in Allah’s eyes, the disbeliever and the insolent person would never get to drink a sip of water from it.’[Amali al-Tusi, p. 531, no. 1162]
 

59ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): مِن هَوانِ الدنيا على اللّه‏ِ أ نّهُ لا يُعصى إلّا فيها ، ولا يُنالُ ما عندَهُ إلّا بتَركِها.

59– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘The lowliness of the world in Allah’s eyes can be seen by the fact that He is not disobeyed except in it, and what is with Him cannot be attained except by abandoning the world.’[Nahj al-Balagha, Saying 385]
 

60ـ الإمامُ الحسينُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنَّ مِن هَوانِ الدنيا على اللّه‏ تعالى أنَّ رَأسَ يحيى بنِ زكريّا اُهدِيَ إلى بَغِيٍّ مِن بَغايا بني إسرائيلَ .

60– Imam al-Husayn (AS) said, ‘Verily the lowliness of this world in Allah’s eyes can be seen by the fact that the head of Prophet John, son of Prophet Zacharias was gifted to a whore from the whores of the Israelites.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 44, p. 365]
