Imam Ali (pbuh) stated: “I give you an example; [imagine] an individual has some wheat. s/ he winnows them in order to sift and thresh, then s/ he stores the wheat in a room with doors closed…
After some times when s/ he opens the room, he finds out the wheat has been infested(with worms [The special worm, damaging wheat is called “weevil”!])
[So] s/ he takes the wheat out of store, to winnow and sift it once more. Then again s/ he puts it in the store and close the door.
After some other time when s/ he enters the store, s/ he will see worms in the wheat again!
[S/ he winnows and sifts the wheat one time more] and repeats this circle again and again, so that a little amount of wheat remains. Then worms cannot damage it anymore.
You have to become filtered by facing the hardship;
so that, just a group remains who may not be harmed by seditions.
