وَقَالَ (عليه السلام):
Amir al-mu'minin, peace be upon him, said:
يَنَامُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى الثُّكْلِ
A man can sleep on the death of his child,
وَلاَ يَنَامُ عَلَى الْحَرَبِ.
but cannot sleep at loss of property.
و قال الرضي: ومعنى ذلك: أنه يصبر على قتل الاَولاد، ولا يصبر على سلب الاَموال.
As-Sayyid ar-Radi says: It means that a man keeps patience on the death of his children but does not do so on the loss of property.
