وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام):

Amir al-mu'minin, peace be upon him, said:

طُوبَى لِمَنْ ذَكَرَ الْمَعَادَ،

Blessed is the person who kept in mind the next life,

وَعَمِلَ لِلْحِسَابِ،

acted so as to be able to render account,

وَقَنِعَ بِالْكَفَافِ،

remained content with what sufficed him

وَرَضِيَ عَنِ اللهِ .

and remained pleased with Allah.
