Imam Ali ( A.S.) was asked who is the strongest soldier of AllahHe replied:First, I have looked at the iron and said it is the strongest , then I looked and saw that fire melts it so I said fire is stronger,then I looked at water and saw that it puts fire out, then I looked at the clouds and I found that it carries water within it, then I looked at the wind and I found that it guides the clouds, then I looked at the mountains and found that it blocks the way of the wind, then I looked at the human who stands on the peek of the mountain and carves it and said he is the strongest, after I looked for what settles a human down and I found it was sleep so I said, sleep is the strongest soldier, then I found that stress and sorrow keeps a human from sleeping so I said they are the strongest,then I found that sorrow and stress reside in the heart so I said the heart is the strongest, Finally, I looked and found that mention and remembrance of Allah sets the heart at rest so I knew that remembrance of Allah is the greatest soldier of Allah. And those who believe and their hearts are set at rest by God's remembrance,Certainly! by God's remembrance are the hearts set at rest ( Ar-Rad verse 28)
