٤٥٤. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام): مَا لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَالْفَخْرِ: أَوَّلُهُ نُطْفَةٌ، وَآخِرُهُ جِيفَةٌ، وَلَا يَرْزُقُ نَفْسَهُ، وَلَا يَدفَعُ حَتْفَهُ.
454. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: What has a man to do with vanity. His origin is semen and his end is a carcass while he cannot feed himself nor ward off death. [1]
