31-168 According to the same documentation, on the authority of Al-Husayn ibn Ali (a.s.), “The Commander of the Faithful (a.s.) delivered a sermon for us and said, ‘There will come a time when the rich will be so greedy of what they possess that they will not act according to the orders that the Sublime God gave, ‘…And do not forget liberality between yourselves for God sees well all that ye do.’ There will come a time when the people will prefer the wicked over the good people.

They will make business deals with those who have no choice and are forced to do so, while God’s Prophet (S) has admonished against buying or selling by force. O people! Fear God. Improve the affairs amongst yourselves, and do not consider me to be separate from my family.”
