Imam al-Hasan (AS), when his father asked him about greed, said, ‘[It is] when you count what is in your hands as a source of honour, while you count what you have given away as a waste.
الإمامُ الحسنُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) لَمّا سَألَهُ أبوهُ عنِ الشُّحِّ : أن تَرى ما في يَدَيكَ شَرَفا وما أنفَقتَ تَلَفا .
