Individual Ethics » Virtues » Intellect » Freedom from Want and Jealousy
الإمام محمد الباقر (عليه السَّلام):
يَا هِشَامُ، مَنْ أَرَادَ الْغِنى‏ بِلَا مَالٍ، وَ رَاحَةَ الْقَلْبِ مِنَ الْحَسَدِ، وَ السَّلامَةَ فِي الدِّينِ، فَلْيَتَضَرَّعْ إِلَى اللَّهِ- عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- فِي مَسْأَلَتِهِ بِأَنْ يُكَمِّلَ عَقْلَهُ؛ فَمَنْ عَقَلَ، قَنِعَ بِمَا يَكْفِيهِ، وَ مَنْ قَنِعَ بِمَا يَكْفِيهِ، اسْتَغْنَى‏، وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَقْنَعْ بِمَا يَكْفِيهِ، لَمْ يُدْرِكِ الْغِنى‏ أَبَداً.

O Hisham, He who wants freedom from Want without the need for riches, and comfort of the heart free from jealousy, and security in his faith should implore Allah, Mighty and Exalted, in his plea for Him to perfect his intellect. One who uses his intellect will be content with that which suffices his essential needs, and one who is content with that which suffices his essential needs will be rich, whereas one who is not content with that which suffices his essential needs will never experience riches [he will always want more and will never be satisfied].

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.
