لاَ كَنْزَ أَغْنَى مِنَ الْقَنَاعَةِ لاَ مَالَ أَذْهَبُ لِلْفَاقَةِ مَنَ الرِّضَى بِالْقُوتِ

Imam Ali (as):

There is no treasure more precious than contentment, and no wealth better removes destitution than being satisfied with one's daily sustenance.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

يَأتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ عَضُوضٌ يَعَضُّ الْمُوسِرُ فِيهِ عَلَى مَا فِي يَدَيْهِ وَلَمْ يُؤْمَرْ بِذلِكَ، قَالَ اللهُ سُبْحَانَهُ: (و لا تَنْسَوُا الْفَضْلَ بَيْنَكُمْ) ، تَنْهَدُ فِيهِ الاْشْرَارُ، وَتُسْتَذَلُّ الاْخْيَارُ، ويُبَايعُ الْمُضْطَرُّونَ، وَقَدْ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلى اللهُ عليه و آله و سلم عَنْ بِيَعِ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ

Imam Ali (as):

A time like a gnashing camel will come upon the people, when the rich will grip onto their wealth by their teeth, even though they have been commanded otherwise, for God has said, «Do not forget to be generous to one another». At this time, the wicked will rise, while the virtuous will be humiliated, and the helpless will be forced to sell their goods for a pittance despite the prohibition by God’s Messenger.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

الرِّزْقُ رِزْقَانِ: طَالِبٌ، وَمَطْلُوبٌ، فَمَنْ طَلَبَ الدُّنْيَا طَلَبَهُ الْمَوْتُ حَتَّى يُخْرِجَهُ عَنْهَا،مَنْ طَلَبَ الاْخِرَةَ طَلَبَتْهُ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يَسْتَوْفِيَ رِزْقَهُ مِنْهَا

Imam Ali (as):

Sustenance is of two types: one that seeks and one that is sought. Seekers of the world are sought by death, and death will expel them from it. Seekers of the hereafter are sought by the world, and it will give them their full share.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

وَ قِيلَ لَهُ [عليه السلام] لَوْ سُدَّ عَلَى رَجُلٍ بَابُ بَيْتِهِ وَ تُرِكَ فِيهِ مِنْ أَيْنَ كَانَ يَأْتِيهِ رِزْقُهُ فَقَالَ [عليه السلام] مِنْ حَيْثُ يَأْتِيهِ أَجَلُهُ

Imam Ali (as):

Asked, “If a man’s door is locked with him inside, where does his sustenance enter from ?” ʿAlī replied: The same place from which his death will enter.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

لِابْنِهِ مُحَمَّدِ ابْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ يَا بُنَيَّ إِنِّى أَخَافُ عَلَيْكَ الْفَقْرَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّ الْفَقْرَ مَنْقَصَةٌ لِلدِّينِ مَدْهَشَةٌ لِلْعَقْلِ دَاعِيَةٌ لِلْمَقْتِ

Imam Ali (as):

Imam Ali (AS), speaking to his son Muhammad b. al-Hanafiyya, said, 'O son, I fear for you because of poverty, so seek refuge in Allah from it, for poverty brings diminishment in one's faith, confusion to the intellect and is a motive for hatred.'

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

وَ سُئِلَ [عليه السلام] كَيْفَ يُحَاسِبُ اللَّهُ الْخَلْقَ عَلَى كَثْرَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ [عليه السلام] كَمَا يَرْزُقُهُمْ عَلَى كَثْرَتِهِمْ فَقِيلَ كَيْفَ يُحَاسِبُهُمْ وَ لَا يَرَوْنَهُ فَقَالَ [عليه السلام] كَمَا يَرْزُقُهُمْ وَ لَا يَرَوْنَهُ

Imam Ali (as):

Imam Ali (AS) was asked; 'How will God call all people to account despite their large number?' to which he replied: 'Just as He provides them with livelihood despite their large number.' Then he was asked: 'How will He call them all to account without their seeing Him?' to which he replied: 'Just as He provides their livelihood even though they cannot see Him.'

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

الْأَمَانِيُّ تُعْمِى أَعْيُنَ الْبَصَائِرِ وَ الْحَظُّ يَأْتِى مَنْ لَا يَأْتِيهِ

Imam Ali (as):

Desires blind the eyes of understanding. The destined share will reach him who does not approach it.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

إِنَّ الطَّمَعَ مُورِدٌ غَيْرُ مُصْدِرٍ وَ ضَامِنٌ غَيْرُ وَفِيٍّ وَ رُبَّمَا شَرِقَ شَارِبُ الْمَاءِ قَبْلَ رِيِّهِ وَ كُلَّمَا عَظُمَ قَدْرُ الشَّيْ‏ءِ الْمُتَنَافَسِ فِيهِ عَظُمَتِ الرَّزِيَّةُ لِفَقْدِهِ

Imam Ali (as):

Greed takes a person to the watering place but gets him back without letting him drink of It, undertakes responsibility but does not fulfil it. Often the drinker gets choked before the quenching of his thirst. The greater the worth of a thing yearned for the greater is the grief for its loss.
