Individual Ethics » Vices » Greediness » The Similitude of the Covetous
الإمام محمد الباقر (عليه السَّلام):
مَثَلُ الحَريصِ علَى الدُّنيا مَثَلُ دُودَةِ القَزِّ ؛ كُلَّما ازدادَت مِن القَزِّ على نَفسِها لَفّا كانَ أبعَدَ لَها مِن الخُروجِ حتّى تَموتَ غَمّا.

The similitude of the one who covets this world is as the caterpillar: the more silk it spins around itself, the harder it makes its exit for itself, until it dies of grief.

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.
