Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Wealth and children are the cultivation of the world and righteous deeds are the cultivation of the Hereafter, and sometimes Allah combines the two for people.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): الحَرثُ حَرثانِ: فحَرثُ الدنيا المالُ والبَنونُ، وحَرثُ الآخرةِ الباقياتُ الصالحاتُ ، وقد يَجمَعُهُم اللّهُ عزّوجلّ لأقوامٍ .
