The Misfortune of Everything

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Sayyidina ‘Ali ibn Abu Thalib (k.w.) said, “Everything has a misfortune: The misfortune of knowledge is forgetfulness; the misfortune of worship is ostentation; the misfortune of intelligence is conceit; the misfortune of nobility is pride; the misfortune of wit is arrogance; the misfortune of generosity is extravagance; the misfortune of modesty is weakness; the misfortune of forbearance is humiliation; and the misfortune of suffering is obscenity.”
