Then Amir al-mu'minin, peace be upon him, turned to his companions and said: Beware If they were allowed to speak they would inform you that: Verily, the best provision is fear of Allah. (Qur'an, 2:197)
When Amir al-mu'minin, peace be upon him, returned from (the battle of) Siffin and noticed the graves outside Kufah,he said: O' residents of houses which give a sense of loneliness, of depopulated areas and gloomy graves. O' people of the dust, O' victims of strangeness, O' people of loneliness and O' people of desolateness! You have gone ahead and preceded us while we are following you and will meet you. The houses (you left) have been inhabited by others; the wives (you left) have been married by others; the properties have been distributed (among heirs). This is the news about those around us; what is the news about things around you?
Then Amir al-mu'minin, peace be upon him, turned to his companions and said: Beware If they were allowed to speak they would inform you that: Verily, the best provision is fear of Allah. (Qur'an, 2:197) [1] [2]

2. Nahj Albalaghe, Wonderful Saying130.
وقال علیه السلام وقد رجع من صفین، فأَشرف علی القبور بظاهر الکوفه: یَا أَهْلَ الدِّیَارِ الْمُوحِشَهِ وَالْمَحَالِّ الْمُقْفِرَهِ وَالْقُبُورِ الْمُظْلِمَهِ, یَا أَهْلَ التُّرْبَهِ، یَا أَهْلَ الْغُرْبَهِ، یَا أَهْلَ الْوَحْدَهِ، یَا أَهْلَ الْوَحْشَهِ، أَنْتُمْ لَنَا فَرَطٌ سَابِقٌ، وَنَحْنُ لَکُمْ تَبَعٌ لاَحِقٌ. أَمَّا الدُّورُ فَقَدْ سُکِنَتْ، وَأَمَّا الْأَزْوَاجُ فَقَدْ نُکِحَتْ، وَأَمَّا الْأَمْوَالُ فَقَدْ قُسِمَتْ. هذَا خَبَرُ مَا عِنْدَنَا، فَمَا خَبَرُ مَا عِنْدَکُمْ؟ ثم التفت إِلی أَصحابه فقال: أَمَا لَوْ أُذِنَ لَهُمْ فِی الْکَلاَمِ لِأَخْبَرُوکُمْ أَنَّ (خَیْرَ الزَّادِ التَّقْوَی).
