الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):
لَمّا شَكا إلَيهِ رَجُلٌ أنّهُ يَطلُبُ فَيُصيبُ و لا يَقنَعُ ، و تُنازِعُهُ نفسُهُ إلى ما هُو أكثَرُ مِنهُ و قالَ : عَلِّمْنِي شَيئا أنتَفِعْ بهِ ـ : إن كانَ ما يَكفيكَ يُغنيكَ فَأدنى ما فيها يُغنيكَ ، و إن كانَ ما يَكفيكَ لا يُغنيكَ فَكُلُّ ما فيها لا يُغنيكَ.
A man complained to Imam al-Sadiq (as) that he sought livelihood and earned enough but that he was not satisfied and his self [Nafs] disputed for more. Then he said, 'Teach me something I can benefit from.' The Imam replied, 'If that which satisfies your needs suffices you, then the very least from this world will be sufficient for you, but if what satisfies your needs does not suffice you [and you want more], then all that the world contains will not be sufficient for you.'

Abū Jaʿfar, Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb b. Isḥāq al-Kulaynī Al-Rāzī (Arabic: ابوجعفر، محمّد بن یعقوب بن اسحاق الرازی) (c. 255/868-9 - 329/941) was among the greatest Shi'a hadith scholars and the author of al-Kafi, the most authentic Shi'a hadith collection and one the Four Books. He was born after the martyrdom of Imam al-'Askari (a), at the time of Imam al-Mahdi (a) and met some hadith transmitters who directly had heard hadiths from Imam al-Hadi (a) and Imam al-'Askari (a). It is said that al-Kulayni was very accurate in transmitting hadiths. Ibn Qulawayh, Muhammad b. Ali Majilawayh al-Qummi, Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Zurari were among his students.
