And if it (sustenance) is (from) prohibited there would be no load (upon you) since you took out of it just as you took out of a dead copse. And if there is a reproof that reproof is easy (soft one). And work for your world as if you would live here forever and work for your resurrection day and here after as if you have to die tomorrow.

And if you intend to achieve honour without a tribe and availing presence and majesty without a rulership, then move out of the abjectness and disgrace of committing sin forbidden by Allah, towards the honour of the obedience of Allah.

[Bihar ul Anwar Vol 44, pp 138/139 in "Fascinating Discourses of (Fourteen Infallibles [A.S.])"] Imam Hussain [A.S.] said: "Who of you will hate to be transferred from the Prison to the Grand Palace (Paradise)?" Imam Hussain [A.S.], addressing his companions at Kerbala when they saw him being not afraid of death, said: "O' the descendants of the Nobles! Have patience. Death is nothing but a bridge. Bearing the troubles and torments you will reach the vast Paradise and never ending bounties.

Who of you will hate to be transferred from the prison to the grand palace (in Paradise)? Death for your enemies is such as if one is taken from the palatial building to the Prison of punishment. My father Ali (A.S.) has narrated this tradition from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.S.) The world's a prison for the faithful, and Paradise of the infidel. Death is the bridge leading the faithful to paradise and the infidel to Hell.

Neither I speak a lie nor have I been told a lie.'" [Sayyid, Hadi Husayn (1988).] Imam Zayn Al Abidin [A.S.] said: "Death releases a Believer from a Dark and Stuffy Dungeon." "The death of a faithful (Momin) may be described as if he has cast off his dirty garments and has put on clean and tidy ones; and they, with our love in their hearts, are called doers of good deeds.

For a faithful death is like his being released from a dark and stuffy dungeon and entering a spacious and fertile garden; and for the infidel, going from this world is like being taken to a jail.
