133. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: This world is a place for transit, not a place for stay. The people herein are of two categories. One is the man who sold away his self (to his passions) and thus ruined it, and the other is the man who purchased his self (by control against his passions) and freed it.
La vie sur terre est une demeure de passage, pas une demeure permanente. Les gens en ce monde sont de deux types : celui qui a vendu son âme et l'a perdue, et celui qui a racheté son âme et l'a sauvée.
