Hadith 86

(The book) ‘Iddat Al Daie’ –
‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘The poverty is better for the Momineen than envy of the neighbours, and tyranny of the ruler, and flattery of the brethren’’. [125]
And it is reported by Hasaan Bin Yahya, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘A poor man came to Rasool-Allah-saww and in his-saww presence was a rich man. He grabbed his clothes and distanced from him. Rasool-Allah-saww said to him: ‘What carried you upon what you did? Did you fear that his poverty might stick to you, or your riches might stick to him? ’
He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! As for when you-saww have said this, for him is half my wealth’. The Prophet-saww said to the poor one: ‘Do you accept from him? ’ He said, ‘No’. He-saww said: ‘And why (not)? ’ He said, ‘I fear that it will enter me what had entered him’’. [126]
And from him-asws having said: ‘In the Evangel, Isa-sa said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Grace me-sa a loaf of barley in the morning and a loaf of barley in the evening, and do not Grace me-sa above that, for I-azwj might become tyrannical’’. [127]
And from the two truthful ones (5th and 6th Imam-asws): ‘The more he clasps with the world, the most intense would be his regret at its separation’’. [128]

He-ra said, ‘My-ra regret isn’t upon the world, but Rasool-Allah-saww had pacted to us and said: ‘Let the provisions of one of you be like the provisions of the rider’, and I-ra fear that we might have exceeded his-saww instructions, and around me-ra are these predators (to devour me-ra)’, and he-ra indicated to what was in his-ra house, and said, ‘It is a tray, and a sword, and a pot’’. [129]
And Abu Zarr-ra, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him-ra, said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Will the fearing ones, the dreading ones, the humbling ones, the mentioners of Allah-azwj frequently be preceding the people to the Paradise? ’
He-saww said: ‘No, but the poor Momineen will come and making way amid necks of the people. The keepers of the Paradise will say to them, ‘Stay where you are until you are Reckoned with! ’
