Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “I am amazed at the one who is stingy both when the world is running in his favor and when it is not. Charity will not affect the world running in your favor and neither will stinginess help when the world is not running in your favor.”
وقال الصادق (عليه السلام): عجبت لمن يبخل بالدنيا وهي مقبلة عليه، أو يبخل بها وهي مدبرة عنه، فلا الإنفاق مع الإقبال يضره، ولا الإمساك مع الإدبار ينفعه.
