ما يوجِبُ الشَّقاءَ That Which Brings About Wretchedness

8ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): سَبَبُ الشَّقاءِ حُبُّ الدُّنيا.

8– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘The cause of wretchedness is love of this world.’[Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 4499]
 

9ـ الإمامُ الحسينُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ في دعاءِ يَومِ عَرَفَةَ ـ: اللّهُمّ اجعَلْني أخشاكَ كَأنّي أراكَ ، وأسعِدْني بتَقواكَ ، ولا تُشقِني بِمَعصِيَتِكَ.

9– Imam al-Husayn (AS) said in his supplication of `Arafa, ‘O Allah, make me fear you as if I see you, let me prosper through being conscious of my duty to You, and keep me from becoming wretched as a consequence of Your disobedience.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 98, p. 218, no. 3]
