ثَمَراتُ طولِ الأملِ The Results of High Expectations

22- فيما ناجَى اللّه‏ُ عزّ وجلّ بهِ موسى (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : يا موسى ، لا تُطَوِّلْ في الدُّنْيا أملَكَ فَيَقْسُوَ قَلْبُكَ ، والقاسِي القلبِ منّي بَعِيدٌ .

22- Part of what Allah, the Exalted, told Prophet Moses (AS): ‘O Moses! Do not extend your expectation in this world’s life lest your heart become hard, for the hard-hearted is far from Me.’[al-Kafi, v. 2, p. 329, no. 1]

 

23- الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : مَنِ اتَّسَعَ أملُهُ قَصُرَ عَمَلُهُ.

23- Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘A man who has high expectations is deficient in his action.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 77, p. 421, no. 40]

 

24- الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : أمّا طُولُ الأملِ فَيُنْسي الآخِرَةَ.

24- Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘As for high expectation, it causes you to forget the Hereafter.’[al-Kafi, v. 2, p. 336, no. 3]
