قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) تَرْكُ الْخَطِيئَةِ أَيْسَرُ مِنْ طَلَبِ التَّوْبَةِ وَ كَمْ مِنْ شَهْوَةِ سَاعَةٍ أَوْرَثَتْ حُزْناً طَوِيلًا وَ الْمَوْتُ فَضَحَ الدُّنْيَا فَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ لِذِي لُبٍّ فَرَحاً .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from one of his companions, from Abu Al Abbas Al Baqbaaq who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Neglecting the sins is easier than seeking the Forgiveness, and how may lustful desires of a moment inherit the prolonged grief; and the death exposes the world so it does not leave the one with understanding, any happiness’.
