Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of Ameer al- Momineen (a.s)
“The sign of being eager to attain divine rewards for the Hereafter is not being inclined to worldly material things in this life. Beware that even if one is abstinent, his not being inclined to material things will not cause a reduction of what material goods of this world God has allocated to him. In the same manner, the greed of a greedy man to obtain more in this world will not cause an increase in his material goods. Therefore only those who get deprived of the benefits of the Hereafter are at a loss.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
قال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): إن علامة الراغب في ثواب الآخرة زهده في عاجل زهرة الدنيا، أما إن زهد الزاهد في هذه الدنيا لا ينقصه ما قسم الله له فيها وإن زهد، وإن حرص الحريص على عاجل زهرة الدنيا لا يزيده فيها وإن حرص، فالمغبون من حرم حظه في الآخرة.
