١٣٢. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام): إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَلَكاً يُنَادِى فِى كُلِّ يَوْمٍ لِدُوا لِلْمَوْتِ وَاجْمَعُوا لِلْفَنَاءِ وَابْنُوا لِلْخَرَابِ.


Translation

132. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: There is an angel of Allāh who calls out every day, “Beget children for death, collect wealth for destruction, and raise construction for ruin.”
