Riches

^{رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :}  إنَّ الشَّيطانَ قالَ : لن يَنجُوَ مِنّي الغَنِيُّ مِن إحدى‏ ثلاثٍ : إمّا أن اُزَيِّنَهُ في عَينِهِ فَيَمنَعَهُ مِن حَقِّهِ ، وإمّا أن اُسَهِّلَ علَيهِ سبيلَهُ فَيُنفِقَهُ في غيرِ حَقِّهِ ، وإمّا أن اُحَبِّبَهُ إلَيهِ فَيَكسِبَهُ بغيرِ حَقِّهِ . _{كنز العمّال : 16677 .}

 The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Verily Satan says, ‘The rich man is not safe from me in either one of three situations: either I embellish his riches in his eyes such that he deprives it to whoever has a right to it, or I facilitate its way so that he squanders it in the wrong place; or I make it so beloved to him that he earns it unlawfully.’ Kanz al-Ummal, no. 16677

^{رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :}  نِعمَ العَونُ على‏ تَقوَى اللَّهِ تَعالى‏ الغِنى‏ . _{الجعفريّات : 155 .}

 The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘He who wishes to be the richest of people should be more trusting of what is in Allah’s Hands than what is in others’ hands.’ al-Kafi, v. 2, p. 139, no. 8

^{رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :}  خَيرُ الغِنى‏ غِنَى النفسِ . _{أمالي الصدوق : 394 / 1 .}
