١٧٥. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام): إِذَا هِبْتَ أَمْراًفَقَعْ فِيهِ، فَإِنَّ شِدَّةَ تَوَقِّيهِأَعْظَمُ مِمَّا تَخَافُ مِنْهُ.


Translation

175. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: When you are afraid of something dive straight into it, because the intensity of abstaining from it is greater (worse) than what you are afraid of.


Chapter (Bab)Facing fears outweighs avoidance
