Tuesday: Imam Jafar As-Sadiq (as) - On the world as compared to the Imams (as)

Younus related: Before Imam Ja'far As-Sadiq (as) I said:

My loyalty to you - the Prophet's family - and recognition of your rights are more favorable to me than this world with all of its insides."  I noticed the Imam was enraged.  After a while, he (as) said: O Younus, you have evalutated us in an improper measurement.  What is this world and what are its insides?  It is no more than relief of a trouble or screening of a defect.  By loyalty to us, you are gaining the endless life.
