"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ يَا عَلِى: كيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذا زَهِدَ النَّاسُ فِى الآخِرَةِ وَرَغِبُوا فِى الدُّنْيا، وَأَكَلُوا التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَمَّا، وَأَحَبُّوا الْمَالَ حُبّا جَمّا واتَّخَذوا دِينَ الله دغَلًا ()، ومَالَ الله دُولًا؟ قُلتُ: أَتْركهُمْ وَمَا اخْتَاروا، وأَخْتَارُ الله وَرَسُولَهُ والدَّارَ الآخرَةَ، وَأَصْبِرُ عَلَى مَصَائِبِ الدُّنْيا وَبَلْوَاهَا حَتَّى أَلْحَقَ بِكَ إِنْ شاءَ الله، فَقَالَ: صَدَقْتَ، اللَّهُمَّ افْعَل ذَلِكَ بِهِ".

"From Ali, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'O Ali, how will you be when people lose interest in the Hereafter and desire the world, consume the inheritance greedily, love wealth intensely, take the religion of Allah as a corruption and the wealth of Allah as a private possession?' I said: 'I will leave them to what they choose, and I will choose Allah, His Messenger and the Abode of the Hereafter, and I will be patient through the calamities and trials of this world, until I join you, if Allah wills.' He said: 'You have spoken the truth. O Allah, do that for him.'"
