1.  Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Almighty Allah told Prophet Musa (a.s.), “O Musa! This world is a house of punishment. When Adam committed a Tark-e-Awla (leaving a recommended deed), he was sent to this world in return. Whenever a person commits mistake, he is punished in this world. This world is cursed along with all the things present in it except for what is done for Me, the Lord. O Musa, My virtuous  servants  keep  away  from  this  world  as  much knowledge  as  they  have.  And  others  who  are  ignorant  of Me, chase this world. The eyes of none of My creatures who consider this world great could get peace, while those who considered   this   world   unworthy   could   get   heaps   of benefits.”
