A friend cannot be considered a friend ( true) unless he is tested on three occasions: in time of need, behind your back and after your death.
HZ ALI (RA)
When somebody asked Imam Ali as to how he was getting on, he replied:'What do you want to know about a person whose life is leading him towards ultimate death, whose health is the first stage towards illness and whom society has forced out of his retreat.'
HZ ALI (RA)
