اَلْمَالُ مَالِي وَ أَنْتَ عَبْدِي وَ الضَّيْفُ رَسُولِي...

اَلْمَالُ مَالِي وَ أَنْتَ عَبْدِي وَ الضَّيْفُ رَسُولِي فَإنْ مَنَعْتَ مَالِي مِنْ رَسُولِي فَلَا تَطْمَعْ في جَنَّتي وَ نِعْمَتِي، يَا بْنَ آدَمَ، اَلْمالُ مَالِي مِنْ رَسُولِي فَلاَ تَطْمَعْ في جَنَّتي وَ نِعْمَتِي. يَا بْنَ آدَمَ!! اَلْمَالُ مَالِي وَ الأَغْنياءُ وَ كُلَائِي وَ الْفُقَرَاءُ عِيَالِي فَمَنْ بَخِلَ عَلى عِيَالِي أُدْخِلْهُ النّارَ وَ لَا أُبَالي. يَا بْنَ آدَمَ!!

ثَلاثةٌ وَاجِبَاتٌ عَلَيْكَ زَكاةُ مَالِكَ وَصِلَةُ رَحِمِكَ وَ قِرَى ضَيْفِكَ فَإذَا لَمْ تَفْعَلْ مَا أَوْجَبْتُهُ عَلَيْكَ فَإنِّي أُجْزِعُكَ إِجْزَاعاً وَ أَجْعَلُكَ نَكَالاً لِلْعَالَمِينَ. يَا بْنَ آدَمَ!! إِذا لَمْ تَرَ حَقَّ جَارِكَ كَما تَرَى حَقَّ عِيَالِكَ لَمْ أَنْظُرْ إِلَيْكَ وَ لَمْ أَقْبَلْ عَمَلَكَ وَ لَمْ أَسْتَجِبْ دُعَاءَكَ. يَا بْنَ آدَمَ!!

لَا تَتَكَبَّرْ عَلى مِثْلِكَ فَإنَّ أَوَّلَكَ نُطْفَةٌ قَذِرَةٌ مِنْ مَنِيَّ مِنْ أَيَّ وَجْهٍ خَرَجْتَ مِنْ مَخْرَجِ الْبَوْلِ مِنْ بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَ التِّرَائِبِ. يَا بْنَ آدَمَ!! اذْكُرْ ذُلِّ مَوْقِفِكَ غَداً بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ فَإنِّي لَمْ أَغْفُلْ مِنْ سَرَائِرِكَ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَ إِنِّي عَلِيْمٌ بِذاتِ الصُّدُورِ. Chapter 35 Almighty Allah says: O, Son of Adam! do not be pleased with your wealth; it won't last forever.

Do not become sad because of poverty; it is neither a burden nor is it incumbent upon you. Do not become hopeless because of calamities; indeed gold is tested by melting it in fire; likewise a believer is tested by calamities (Balaa). Indeed, the wealthy are respected in this world and humiliated in the Hereafter. And the poor are humiliated in this world and respected in the Hereafter. Indeed, the Hereafter is prosperous and eternal. O, Son of Adam!

If you see your quest staying (due to circumstances) for more than nine day then you say: " I seek refuge with Allah from His wrath". O, Son of Adam! the Wealth is Mine and you are My Servant and the quest is My Messenger. If you stop giving My wealth to My Messenger, then do not desire My Heaven and My Sustenance. O, Son of Adam! the Wealth is Mine and the rich are My Representatives and the poor are My Dependents.

The one who is mean towards My Dependents I will make him enter into Hell and I will not care for him! O, Son of Adam! three things are incumbent upon you from your wealth: Zakat (alms), kindness towards relatives, and respect for guests. If you don't do what I have made incumbent upon you, indeed I will engulf you in fear and I will make you an example (Ibrat) for All mankind. O, Son of Adam!
