God's Prophet (a.s) said: “There are two forms of poverty: poverty in this world and poverty in the Hereafter. Poverty in this world results in affluence in the Hereafter. Affluence in this world results in poverty in the Hereafter which equals destruction.”
وقال (صلى الله عليه وآله): الفقر فقران: فقر في الدنيا، وفقر في الآخرة، ففقر الدنيا غنى الآخرة، وغنى الدنيا فقر الآخرة، وذلك الهلاك.
