24ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ وَغَيْرِهِ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ مَثَلُ الدُّنْيَا كَمَثَلِ مَاءِ الْبَحْرِ كُلَّمَا شَرِبَ مِنْهُ الْعَطْشَانُ ازْدَادَ عَطَشاً حَتَّى يَقْتُلَهُ. 24. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Abd Allah ibn Mughirah and others from Talha ibn Zayd from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The case of the world is like the water of the ocean. The more a thirsty person drinks from it, the thirstier he becomes, consequently, it kills him.” Al-Kāfi - Volume 2, Condemnation of Worldly Matters and Abstaining Thereby, Hadith #24

Jābir ibn Yazīd al-Juʿfī said: "I served our master, Imām Abā Jaʿfar Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī (ʿalayhimā as-salām), for eighteen years. When I was about to depart, I bade him farewell and said: 'Grant me some advice.' He replied: 'After eighteen years, O Jābir?!' I said: 'Yes, indeed, for you are an unfathomable sea whose depths can never be reached.' He then said: 'O Jābir, convey my greetings to my Shīʿah and inform them that there is no kinship between us and Allah (ʿazza wa-jall), and that none can draw near to Him except through obedience to Him. O Jābir, whoever obeys Allah and loves us, then he is our ally; but whoever disobeys Allah, his love for us will be of no benefit to him. O Jābir, who is the one that asks Allah and is not given? Or who relies upon Him and is not sufficed? Or who places his trust in Him and is not saved?! O Jābir, take the world as you would a temporary lodging that you intend to leave. Is this world anything but a mount that you ride in a dream, only to wake up and find yourself upon your bed—neither riding nor holding its reins? Or like a garment you put on? Or like a concubine you approach? O Jābir, to the people of intellect, the world is like the shadow of a cloud. 'Lā ilāha illa Allāh' is an honor for the people of His call; prayer is an affirmation of sincerity and a purification from arrogance; zakāh increases sustenance; fasting and ḥajj bring tranquility to the hearts; retribution and legal punishments preserve lives; and our love—the love of Ahl al-Bayt—is the very order of the religion. May Allah make us and you among those who fear their Lord in the unseen and who are apprehensive of the Hour." Source: Al-Amālī by Shaykh al-Ṭūsī, page 297.

وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ : مَنِ اِزْدَادَ فِي اَللَّهِ عِلْماً وَ اِزْدَادَ لِلدُّنْيَا حُبّاً اِزْدَادَ مِنَ اَللَّهِ بُعْداً وَ اِزْدَادَ اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ غَضَباً . Imām al-Ṣādiq (ʿalayhi as-salām) said: "Whoever increases in knowledge of Allah while also increasing in love for the world, only increases in distance from Allah and in Allah's wrath upon him."
