۳۸۰. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام): رُبَّ مُسْتَقْبِلٍ يَوْماً لَيْسَ بِمُسْتَدْبِرِهِ وَمَغْبُوطٍ فِي أَوَّلِ لَيْلِهِ قَامَتْ بَوَاكِيهِ فِي آخِرِهِ.

380. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: Many a man faces a day after which he finds no day and many a man is in an enviable position in the earlier part of the night but is wept over by bewailing women in its later part.

380. Il qu’un homme attende un lendemain, mais meurt à la veille, qu’il vive dans l’opulence au début de la soirée et voici que les pleureuses se lamentent sur lui à minuit.
