Imam Sadiq (a.s) narrated that God's Prophet (a.s) said
“O' Ali! God has entrusted his creatures with poverty. God will grant whoever hides his poverty the reward of those who fast and stay up at night to worship Him. And if he expresses his poverty to someone who can help him fulfill his needs, but that man does not do so, it is as if he has killed the poor man- not by using a sword or a dagger but with his rejection.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): يا علي، إن الله جعل الفقر أمانة عند خلقه، فمن ستره أعطاه الله مثل أجر الصائم القائم، ومن أفشاه إلى من يقدر على قضاء حاجته فلم يفعل فقد قتله، أما أنه ما قتله بسيف ولا رمح ولكن قتله بما أنكر قلبه.
