Hadith 4

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – from the number, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Asbat, from the one who mentioned it, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The poverty is the red death’. I said to Abu Abdullah-asws: ‘The poverty is from the Dinars and the Dirhams’. He-asws said: ‘No! But it is from the religion’’. [3]
Explanation – He said in ‘Al-Nihaya’, and in it, ‘They are known what is in this community from the red death, meaning the killing, due to what is in it from the red blood, or due to its severity it is called, ‘red death’, I. e. , severe, and from it is Hadeeth of Ali-asws: ‘We, whenever the battle reddened, saved ourselves by Rasool-Allah-saww’. I. e. , whenever the war intensified, we faced the enemy with him-saww, and we made him-saww as a saving for us’. And it is said, ‘He-asws intended, ‘when the fire of was ignited and inflamed’, just as it is said regarding the evil between the people, ‘Their fire has ignited’, resembling it with the ember of fire, and a lot of is linked with the redness is upon the severity. But, from the religion it’s match is word of Amir Al-Momineen-asws: ‘The poverty and the riches are after the presentation to Allah-azwj (on the Day of Qiyamah)’. And the meaning is that these two (poverty and richness) will be appearing after the Reckoning, and it is what is indicated by Rasool-Allah-saww with his-saww words: ‘Do you know what is the bankrupt one? ’ It was said, ‘The bankrupt among us is one having neither any Dirhams for him nor chattels for him’. He-saww said: ‘From my-saww community, the bankrupt is the one who will come on the Day of Qiyamah with Salat, and fasts, and Zakat, and he will come having insulted and slandered this one, and devoured the wealth of this one, and shed the blood of this one, and beaten this one. So, he will have to give (compensate) this one from his good deed, and this one from his good deed. Thus, his good deeds will be depleted before he can pay off whatever is upon him. He will be seized for their mistakes (sins) and these will be dropped upon him, then he will be dropped into the Fire’’. But it has been said that the bankrupt in reality, he is this one. And it is possible that he-asws meant with his-asws words: ‘But, from the religion’, is the poverty of the heart, and its opposite is the richness of the heart. So, the poor, based upon this, is one who hasn’t got understanding in the religion and knowledge of its wisdom, nor is strong, nor devout, and other such from the good qualities. Like that it is said. It is said, ‘And I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is possible that the meaning could be that which is harmful to the religion, and he cannot be patient upon it, and he seeks the means with the oppressors and the mischief-makers, like what has passed’.
