And recited these couplets When the world shows you a gratitude which is in favour of you; you should gift it to the people as soon as possible, before it slips away suddenly from your hands Neither your gratitude will destroy the wealth, nor can your misery can keep.[^3] تسامح بالناس إذَا جَادَتِ الدُّنيا عَلَيکَ فَجُدبِهَا عَلَي النَّاسِ طُرّاً قَبلَ أَن تَتَفَلَّت فَلاَ الجُودُ يفنِيهَا إذَا هِي أَقبَلَت وَلاَ البُخلُ يبقِيهَا إذَا مَا تَولَّت فَما لََکَ غَير تَقوي اللهِ حِرُزٌ ولاوزرٌ وَ ما لَکَ مِن غِساثٌ Seeking Sustenance only from God Every time you face hard times in life, don’t supplicate in front of others because it is Allah who provides your livelihood and daily bread (not them) If you remain alive and travel to the far most places of the east and west of this world, you won’t be able to find anybody who could make you fortunate or unfortunate except Allah.[^4] فقر الي الله إذَا مَا عَضَّکَ الدَّهرُ فَلاَ تَجنَح إلَي خَلقٍ وَ لاَ تَسأَل سِوَي اللهِ تَعَالَي قَاسِمِ الرِّزقِ فَلَو عِشتَ وَ طَوَّفتَ مِنَ الغَربِ إلَي الشَّرقِ لَمَا صَادَفتَ مَن يقدِ ر أن يسعَدَ أَو يشقِي [^1]: Mausu’ah Kalimat al-Imam al-Husayn (as), p.
