کفران نعمت؛ نابودگر آن

در روایتی آمده است که هنگامی که امیر مژْمنان علی(ع) از کنار مدائن می‌گذشت و آثار کسری (انوشیروان و دیگر شاهان ساسانی) را مشاهده می‌کرد که نزدیک به فرو ریختن بوه یکی از کسانی که در خدمتش بودء شعری را برای عبرت قرائت کرد که ترجمةٌ آن چنین است:«بادها بر آثار باقیماندةٌ سرزمینشان وزیدن گرفت. گویی آنها همگی وعده‌گاهی داشتند و به سوی وعده‌گاهشان شتافتند.» امام فرمود: «چرا این آیات را نخواندی؟» آنگاه این آیات را تلاوت کرد»ء سپس فرمود: «اینهاء وارشان (اموال و حکومت دیگران) بودند؛ ولی (آن نعمات را برای دیگران) به ارث گذاشتند. شکر نعمت را به‌جا نیاوردند؛ پس دنیایشان به خاطر نافرمانی گرفته شد. بپرهیزید از کفران نعمت؛ مبادا که خشم الهی دامنگیرتان شود.»
