Imam Kazim (a.s) said: “God the Almighty said: I did not make the rich ones rich for their honor near Me, and I did not make the poor ones poor for their humiliation near Me.

إن الله عز وجل يقول: إني لم أغن الغني لكرامة له علي، ولم أفقر الفقير لهوان به علي، وهو مما ابتليت به الأغنياء بالفقراء، ولولا الفقراء لم يستوجب الأغنياء الجنة.
