الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

مَنِ اقْتَصَرَ عَلَى بُلْغَةِ الْكَفَافِ فَقَدِ انْتَظَمَ الرَّاحَةَ وَتَبَوَّأَ خَفْضَ الدَّعَةِ وَالرَّغْبَةُ مِفْتَاحُ النَّصَبِ، وَمَطِيَّةُ التَّعَبِ، وَالْحِرْصُ وَالْكِبْرُ وَالْحَسَدُ دَوَاعٍ إِلَى التَّقَحُّمِ فِي الذُّنُوبِ.

Imam Ali (as):

He who restricts himself to what is just sufficient for maintenance has secured comfort and leads a carefree life. Desire is the key to grief and the conveyance of distress. Greed, vanity, and jealousy are incentives to falling into sins.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

الْأَمَانِيُّ تُعْمِى أَعْيُنَ الْبَصَائِرِ وَ الْحَظُّ يَأْتِى مَنْ لَا يَأْتِيهِ

Imam Ali (as):

Desires blind the eyes of understanding. The destined share will reach him who does not approach it.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

إِنَّ الطَّمَعَ مُورِدٌ غَيْرُ مُصْدِرٍ وَ ضَامِنٌ غَيْرُ وَفِيٍّ وَ رُبَّمَا شَرِقَ شَارِبُ الْمَاءِ قَبْلَ رِيِّهِ وَ كُلَّمَا عَظُمَ قَدْرُ الشَّيْ‏ءِ الْمُتَنَافَسِ فِيهِ عَظُمَتِ الرَّزِيَّةُ لِفَقْدِهِ

Imam Ali (as):

Greed takes a person to the watering place but gets him back without letting him drink of It, undertakes responsibility but does not fulfil it. Often the drinker gets choked before the quenching of his thirst. The greater the worth of a thing yearned for the greater is the grief for its loss.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

[لِرَجُلٍ سَأَلَهُ أَنْ يَعِظَهُ لَا تَكُنْ مِمَّنْ] يَقُولُ فِى الدُّنْيَا بِقَوْلِ الزَّاهِدِينَ وَ يَعْمَلُ فِيهَا بِعَمَلِ الرَّاغِبِينَ إِنْ أُعْطِيَ مِنْهَا لَمْ يَشْبَعْ وَ إِنْ مُنِعَ مِنْهَا لَمْ يَقْنَعْ

Imam Ali (as):

Imam Ali (AS) said to a man soliciting advice from him, 'Do not be of those who … utter words like the ascetics concerning this world, though in practice they behave like those who covet it; if they are allowed something from it, they do not feel satisfied, and if denied, they are not content.'

رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):

مِنْ عَلَامَاتِ الشَّقَاءِ جُمُودُ الْعَيْنِ وَ قَسْوَةُ الْقَلْبِ وَ شِدَّةُ الْحِرْصِ فِي طَلَبِ الرِّزْقِ وَ الْإِصْرَارُ عَلَى الذَّنْبِ.

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

Among the symptoms of wretchedness are: a look of apathy in the eyes, hardness of the heart, intense greed in seeking out one's livelihood, and persistence in committing sins.

رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):

سَيَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ تَخْبُثُ فِيهِ سَرَائِرُهُمْ وَ تَحْسُنُ فِيهِ عَلَانِيَتُهُمْ طَمَعاً فِي الدُّنْيَا لَا يُرِيدُونَ بِهِ مَا عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ يَكُونُ دِينُهُمْ رِيَاء .

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

People will experience such a time when their conscience will become wicked but their outward appearance will be beautiful as a result of their greed in the world. They will not seek through it what is with their Lord and their religiosity will be merely for showing off.

الإمام الكاظم (عليه السَّلام):

إنَّ للّهِِ عزّ و جلّ في كلّ يومٍ و ليلةٍ مُنادِياً يُنادِي : مَهلاً مَهلاً عِبادَ اللّهِ عن معاصِي اللّهِ ، فلولا بَهائمُ رُتَّعٌ ، و صِبْيَةٌ رُضَّعٌ ، و شُيوخٌ رُكَّعٌ ، لَصُبَّ علَيكُمُ العَذابُ صَبّاً تُرَضُّونَ بهِ رَضّاً .

Imam al-Kazim (as):

Verily Allah has a caller [amongst His angels] who calls out every day and night: ‘Slow down, O servants of Allah, and abstain from acts of disobedience to Allah, for were it not for the grazing animals, suckling babies and the elderly who bow down to Allah, punishment would surely pour down on you.'
