Translated by Sayyid Ali Reza

وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام):

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

إِنَّ هذِهِ الْقُلُوبَ تَمَلُّ

The hearts become tired

كَمَا تَمَلُّ الاْبْدَانُ،

as the bodies become tired.

فَابْتَغُوا لَهَا طَرَائِفَ الْحِكْمَةِ.

You should therefore search for beautiful sayings for them (to enjoy by way of refreshment).
