الغُربَةُ وَالوَطَنُ Separation from One’s Homeland

6ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): الغِنى في الغُربَةِ وَطَنٌ، والفَقرُ في الوَطنِ غُربَةٌ.

6– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Wealth in a foreign place is like being in one’s homeland, and poverty in one’s homeland is like estrangement therein.’[Nahj al-Balagha, Saying 56]
 

7ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لَيسَ بَلَدٌ بأحَقَّ بِكَ مِن بَلدٍ ، خَيرُ البِلادِ ما حَمَلَكَ.

7– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘There is no country that is more worthy of you [i.e. your inhabiting it] than another. The best of lands is that which will tolerate you.’[Ibid. Saying 442]
