Hadith 49

gory, they are loving amassing the wealth from its good aspect, and its excellent ways. They are connecting their kinship with it, and they are being righteous with their brethren, and are helping the poor with it. Biting on a stone sidewalk is easier for one of them than to earn a single Dirham unlawfully, or to withhold it from its rightful due, or to act as a mere treasurer of it until his death. They are the ones who, if they are investigated, will be Punished, and if Pardoned, they will be safe! And as for the third category, they are loving amassing the wealth from whatever means, Permissible and Prohibited, and they prevent from what is necessitated and obligated! If they spend it, they spend it extravagantly and hastily, and if they withhold it, they withhold it out of miserliness and hoarding! ’’[75]
And from the Prophet-saww having said: ‘One who earns Prohibited wealth, Allah-azwj neither Accept from him any charity, nor liberation (of slave), nor Hajj, nor Umrah, and Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Write for him the number of that Recompense, burdens of sin, and whatever remains after his death would be his provision to the Fire, and the one who is able upon it, so he neglects if fearing Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will enter into His-azwj Love, and His-azwj Mercy, He-azwj will Command with him to go to the Paradise! ’’[76]
(The book) ‘Kitab Al Ghayaat’ –
‘It was said to Salman-ra, may Allah-azwj Mercy him-ra, ‘Which of the deeds is the most superior? ’
He-ra said: ‘The Eman with Allah-azwj and the Permissible bread! ’’[77]
(The book) ‘Kitab Al Imama Wa Al Tabsira’ – From Haroun Bin Musa, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Ibn Fazzal, ‘From Al-Sadiq-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws, from the Prophet-saww having said: ‘The striver in seeking the Permissible sustenance is like the Holy warrior in the way of Allah-azwj! ’’[78]
And from him, from Al Qasim Bin Ali Al Alawy, from Muhammad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny, ‘From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Seeking the earnings is an obligation after the obligatory acts! ’’[79]
And from him, from Sahl Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Muhammad Al Ash’as, From Musa Bin Ismail son of Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, from his father-asws, from his-asws forefathers having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The worship is of seventy segments. Their most superior is seeking the Permissible (sustenance)’’. [80]
And from him, by this chain, ‘The worship is of ten segments. Nine segments are in seeking the Permissible (sustenance)’’. [81]
