فضالة عن إسماعيل بن أبي زياد عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام عن أبيه عليه السلام قال: قال علي عليه السلام ما انزل الموت حق منزلته من عد غدا من أجله وقال علي عليه السلام ما أطال عبد الأمل الا أساء العمل وكان يقول: لو رأى العبد أجله وسرعته إليه لا بغض الأمل وطلب الدنيا.
10.Faḍālah narrated from Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Ziyād, from Abū ʿAbdillāh , from his father  who said, “ʿAlī  said, ‘He who counts his morrow as part of his lifetime has not given death its due status!’ ʿAlī  also said, ‘A servant does not lengthen his [worldly] aspiration but that he ends up doing evil deeds [to achieve his goal].’ And he used to say, ‘If the servant were to see his death and how quickly it is approaching him, he would have loathed [worldly] aspiration and seeking the world.’”
