Disparagement of the world
Imam Ali (as) said:
It is strange that the jealous, do not feel jealous about bodily health.
(Nahj Ul-Balagha, Sermon 219)
Imam Ali (as) said:
The world in your eyes should be smaller than the bark of acacia and the clippings of wool. Seek instruction from those who preceded you before those who follow you take instruction from you, and keep aloof from it realizing its evil because it cuts off even from those who were more attached to it than you.
(Nahj Ul-Balagha, Sermon 32)
