Hadiths Of Covetous

Verily filling the stomach, weakness of will, the intoxication of being fully satiated and the delusion of power, all hinder and delay one from the performance [of good deeds] and cause one to forget Allah.

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

كانَ أميرُ المؤمنينَ صلواتُ اللّهِ علَيهِ يقولُ: ابنَ آدمَ، إنْ كُنتَ تُريدُ مِن الدُّنيا ما يَكْفيكَ فإنَّ أيْسَرَ ما فيها يَكْفيكَ، وإنْ كُنتَ إنَّما تُريدُ ما لا يَكْفيكَ فإنَّ كُلَّ ما فيها لا يَكْفيكَ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

The Commander of the Faithful, blessings of Allah be upon him, used to say, O son of Adam! If only you sought from the world enough to satisfy your needs, indeed the very least from it would be enough to satisfy your needs. But if instead you desire more than your needs, then truly everything that it contains will not suffice you.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

مَثَلُ الحَريصِ على الدُّنيا مَثَلُ دُودَةِ القَزِّ: كُلَّما ازْدادَتْ مِن القَزِّ على نَفْسِها لَفّاً كانَ أبْعَدَ لَها مِن الخُروجِ، حتّى تَموتَ غَمّاً.

Imam Ali (as):

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.

الامام الحسین (علیه السلام):

لَيست العِفَّةُ بِمانِعَةٍ رِزْقاً، و لا الحِرصُ بجالِبٍ فَضْلًا، و إنَّ الرِّزقَ مَقْسومٌ و الأجَلَ مَحتومٌ، وَ اسْتِعمالُ الحِرصِ طَالبُ المَأْثَمِ.

Imam al-Hussain (as):

Self-restraint does not prevent [the descent of] sustenance, nor does covetousness attract any surplus [sustenance]; for indeed sustenance is allotted, and death is certain, and covetousness is only asking for sin.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

أمّا بَعْدُ، فَلَا يَكُنْ حَظُّكَ في وِلَايتِكَ مَالًا تَسْتَفِيدُهُ، وَلَا غَيْظاً تَشْتَفِيهِ، وَ لكنْ إمَاتَةُ بَاطِلٍ وَ إحْيَاءُ حَقٍّ.

Imam Ali (as):

Imam Ali (AS) wrote to Ibn Abbas: Do not let your share as a result of your rule be wealth that you derive [personal] gain from, nor rage that you satisfy [by revenge], but [let it be] the killing of injustice and the revival of equity.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

أسَدٌ حَطُومٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ ظَلُومٍ، وَ سُلْطانٌ ظَلُومٌ خَيرٌ مِنْ فِتَنٍ تَدُومُ.

Imam Ali (as):

A wild lion is better than an oppressive ruler, while an oppressive ruler is better than lasting schisms.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

الحِرصُ لا يَزيدُ في الرِّزقِ، وَ لكنْ يُذِلُّ القَدْرَ.

Imam Ali (as):

Covetousness does not increase sustenance, but rather it degrades a person's value.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

لَابُدّ لِلنَّاسِ مِنْ أمِيرٍ بَرٍّ أوْ فَاجِرٍ، يَعْمَلُ فِي إمْرَتِهِ المُؤْمِنُ وَ يَسْتَمْتِعُ فِيهَا الكَافِرُ، وَ يُبَلِّغُ اللّهُ فِيهَا الأجَلَ، وَ يُجْمَعُ بِهِ الفَيْ ءُ، وَ يُقَاتَلُ بهِ العَدُوُّ، وَ تَأمَنُ بِهِ السُّبُلُ، وَ يُؤْخَذُ بِهِ لِلضّعِيفِ مِنَ القَوِيِّ، حَتّى يَسْتَرِيحَ بَرٌّ وَ يُسْتَراحَ مِنْ فَاجِرٍ.

Imam Ali (as):

The people have to have a ruler over them, be he pious or wicked, under whose rule the believer toils and the wicked seeks to make merry, and in which Allah decrees the final outcome, and under which the booty is collected, the enemy is fought, the roads are made safe, and the weak is protected from the powerful, until the pious rests and the wicked is cast aside.
