It is reported that 'Ali ibn Abi Talib wrote to Salman Al-Farsi – Radi
Allahu 'anhum – saying:
❝The likeness of this worldly life (dunya) is that of a snake: soft to
the touch, it will kill you with its poison. So turn away from what
impresses you of it, since what stays with you is so little. And do
not be concerned about it, since you are certain about its parting.
And be most happy in it when you are most heedful of it; for every
time its companion takes solace in one of its delights, it gives way
to one of its woes!❞
[Ibn Abi Al-Dunya, Kitab Al-Zuhd article 164]
