It has been recorded from Hazrat Ali: The good of this world and the Hereafter is in two attributes: needlessness and Piety freedom from want and Fear of God and the evil of the present world and the next life is in two attributes: poverty neediness and sins.

This is the worst kind of jealousy. B: man wants that others bounty may be removed from him and may be given to him.
