Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as): Your quest to secure your means of subsistence should be such that it is neither like the earning of a wasteful squanderer, and nor like the greedy man who loves and depends on this world. Rather, you must raise yourself from the level of weakness and incapacity, and bring yourself down [from the level of greed] to the level of an equitable and virtuous man, and seek your earning the way a believer should.
