upon us so we would have withheld and (or) extended, but we worshipped our Lord-azwj until the certainty (death) came to us’’. [130]
And among what Allah-azwj Revealed to Musa-as: “When you-as see the poverty facing, say: ‘Welcome to the brand of the righteous ones’, and when you-as see the riches facing, then say, ‘A sin whose punishment has been hastened’’. [131]
And Isa-as said: ‘My-as servants are my-as hands, and my-as ride is my-as legs, and my-as bed is the ground, and my-as pillow is the stone, and my-as defence in the winter is east of the earth, and my-as lamp is the moon, and my-as sauce is the hunger, and my-as brand is the fear, and my-as clothing is the wool, and my-as fruits and my-as aroma is what the earth grows for the beasts and the cattle. I-as spend the night and there isn’t anything for me-as, and I-as come to the morning and there isn’t anything for me-as, and there isn’t anyone upon the surface of the earth richer than me-as! ’’[132]
And Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Apologise to His-azwj servant who was needy in the world like what the brother apologises to his brother: ‘By My-saww Might! I‑azwj had not Impoverished you due to your being insignificant to Me-azwj. Raise this covering and look at what I-azwj have Compensated you from the world! ”
He will uncover and look at what Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic had Compensated him from the world, and he will say, ‘O Lord-azwj! It has not harmed me what You-azwj had Impeded from me, with what You-azwj have Compensated me! ’’[133]
And Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said to Isa-as: “I-azwj am Gifting to you-as the poor and their mercy. You-as should love them and they will love you-as. They are pleased with you-as as a leader and a guide, and you-as should be pleased with them as companions and followers, and they are two morals one who meets Me-azwj with these two, will be meeting Me-azwj with the purest of deeds and most Beloved to Me-azwj! ”’[134]
And the Prophet-saww said: ‘The poverty is my-saww pride and I-saww pride with it’’. [135]
And Isa-as said: ‘True is what I-sa am saying to you all! The enclaves of the sky are empty from the rich and entering of a camel in the eye of the needle is easier than the entry of the rich into the Paradise’’. [136]
And from the Prophet-saww: ‘I-saww noticed upon the Paradise and found most of its inhabitants as being the poor and the needy, and there wasn’t anyone less than the rich and the women’’. [137]
