Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Verily if a man requests from me a need that he has, I will undertake to grant it fearing that his need gets fulfilled and he will no longer find any use for me [in helping him].
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ الرّجُلَ لَيَسْألُني الحاجَةَ فاُبادِرُ بقَضائها ؛ مَخافَةَ أنْ يَسْتَغْنيَ عنها ، فلا يَجِدَ لَها مَوقِعا إذا جاءَتْهُ.
