hadith 1602

Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “We like wealth, and only use it in good ways. Whoever obtains a lot of wealth in this world will lose some of his benefits in the Hereafter. Whoever owns one hundred thousand Durhams is not one of our followers.”

عن جعفر (عليه السلام) قال

نحب المال ولا نؤتي إلا خيرا، وما أوتي عبد في هذا الدنيا إلا كان نقص لحظه في الآخرة، وما من شيعتنا من له مائة ألف درهم.

hadith 1605

Imam Baqir (a.s) said the following regarding the following verse: “And there are those who bury gold and silver” [The Holy Quran: Tauba 9:34] “This applies to those who collect more than two thousand Durhams.” It is said that the religious, knowledgeable men calculate their wealth every night, and divide -give away in charity- what is in excess of two thousand Durhams, and never keep more than two thousand Durhams.”

عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) في قول الله عز وجل: ﴿والذين يكنزون الذهب والفضة...﴾ الآية قال

إنما عنى ذلك ما جازوا ألفي درهم. وذكر أن العلماء يحاسبون أنفسهم كل ليلة، فإن كان عندهم من العين أكثر من ألفي درهم أخرجوه فقسموه، ولا يثبت عندهم أكثر من ألفي درهم.
