Selections from The Sayings and Preaching of Amir al-Muminin Ali ibn Abi Talib (Peace Be Upon Him) Including His Replies to Questions and Maxims Expressed for Various Purposes.
Translated by Sayyid Ali Reza

وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام):

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

لاَ يَصْدُقُ إِيمَانُ عَبْدٍ،

The belief of a person cannot be regarded as true

حَتّى يَكُونَ بِمَا فِي يَدِ اللهِ سُبْحَانَهُ

unless his trust in what is with Allah

أَوْثَقَ مِنهُ بِمَا فِي يَدِهِ.

is more than his trust in what he himself has.
