sayingDunya & HereafterSaying 406
Let it be death but not humiliation. Let it be little but not through others. Whoever does not get while sitting will not get by standing either. The world has two days: one for you and the other against you. When the day is for you, do not feel proud, but when it is against you, endure it.
MEANING
Imam Ali (a.s.) points to a truth worth sitting with: let it be death but not humiliation. let it be little but not through others. whoever does not get while sitting will not get by standing either. the world has two days: one for you and the other against you. when the day is for you, do not feel proud, but when it is against you, endure it.
TAKE THIS INTO YOUR DAY
Do one small act today whose reward is in the Hereafter.
