Hadiths Of

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

يَا جَابِرُ مَنْ كَثُرَتْ نِعَمُ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ كَثُرَتْ حَوَائِجُ اَلنَّاسِ إِلَيْهِ فَمَنْ قَامَ لِلَّهِ فِيهَا بِمَا يَجِبُ فِيهَا عَرَّضَهَا لِلدَّوَامِ وَ اَلْبَقَاءِ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَقُمْ فِيهَا بِمَا يَجِبُ عَرَّضَهَا لِلزَّوَالِ وَ اَلْفَنَاءِ

Imam Ali (as):

The one upon whom Allah's bounties are plenty, people's needs from him increase accordingly. So, if he uses them for Allah in the way he must, he causes them to continue and remain. But if he does not use them in the way that he must, He will expose them to decay and destruction.
