Imam Ali (AS), speaking to his son Imam Hasan (AS), said, ‘Do not blame a person who tries to seek his ration, for he who does not have a ration, his mistakes increase. O son, a poor person is humiliated, his words are not heard, and his status is not recognized. If a poor person speaks the truth, they call him a liar, and if he is an ascetic, they call him ignorant. O son, those who are tried with poverty are tested in four things: weakness in their certainty, deficiency in their intellect, fragility in their devotion, and lack of shame on their face. So, we seek refuge in Allah from poverty.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ لابنِهِ الحسنِ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ: لا تَلُمْ إنساناً يَطلُبُ قُوتَهُ، فَمَن عَدِمَ قُوتَهُ كَثُرَت خَطاياهُ . يا بُنَيَّ، الفقيرُ حَقيرٌ لا يُسمَعُ كلامُهُ، ولا يُعرَفُ مَقامُهُ، لو كانَ الفَقيرُ صادِقاً يُسَمُّونَهُ كاذِباً، ولو كانَ زاهِداً يُسَمُّونَهُ جاهِلاً. يا بُنَيَّ، مَن ابتُلِيَ بالفَقرِ فقدِ ابتُلِيَ بأربَعِ خِصالٍ: بالضَّعفِ في يَقينِهِ، والنُّقصانِ في عَقلِهِ، والرِّقَّةِ في دِينِهِ، وقِلَّةِ الحَياءِ في وَجهِهِ، فَنَعُوذُ باللّهِ مِن الفَقرِ.
