"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: جَزَاءُ المَعْصِيَةِ الْوَهْنُ () فِي الْعِبَادة والضِّيقُ فِي الْمَعيِشَةِ والتَّعسُ فِي اللَّذَّةِ، قِيلَ: وَمَا التَّعسُ فِي اللَّذَّةِ؟ قَالَ: لَا يَنَالُ شَهْوَةً حَلَالًا إِلَّا جَاءَه مَا يُنَغِّصُهُ إِيَّاهَا".

"From 'Ali who said: The recompense of disobedience is weakness () in worship, constriction in livelihood, and misery in pleasure. It was said: What is misery in pleasure? He said: One does not attain a lawful desire except that there comes to him what spoils it for him."
