9ـ رسولُ اللهِِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): إنّ الرِّزقَ لا يَجُرُّهُ حِرصُ حَريصٍ ولا يَصرِفُهُ كَراهِيَةُ كارِهٍ. |
| 9– The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Sustenance cannot be pulled by the greed of an avaricious person nor repelled by the repugnance of a hostile person.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 77, p. 68, no. 7] |

10ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): اِعلَمُوا أنَّ عَبدا وإن ضَعُفَتْ حِيلَتُهُ ، ووَهَنَتْ مَكِيدَتُهُ أنَّهُ لَن يُنقَصَ مِمّا قَدَّرَ اللّهُ لَهُ ، وإن قَوِيَ عَبدٌ في شِدَّةِ الحِيلَةِ وقُوَّةِ المَكِيدَة أ نّهُ لن يُزادَ عَلى ما قَدَّرَ اللّهُ لَهُ. |
| 10– Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Know that even if a servant was devoid of shrewdness and was feeble in his schemes, it would not reduce the amount of sustenance that Allah has apportioned for him, and even if a servant were to be skilfully shrewd and crafty, it would not do anything to increase the sustenance that Allah has apportioned for him.’[Amali al-Mufid, p. 207, no. 39] |

11ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إن كانَ الرِّزقُ مَقسوماً فالحِرصُ لِماذا؟! |
| 11– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Since sustenance is duly allotted, what is the use of greed?!' [Amali al-Saduq, p. 16, no. 5] |
|
12ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنّ اللّهَ تعالى وَسَّعَ أرزاقَ الحَمقى لِيَعتَبِرَ العُقَلاءُ ويَعلَمُوا أنّ الدنيا ليسَ يُنالُ ما فيها بِعَمَلٍ ولا حِيلَةٍ. |
| 12– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Verily Allah, most High, has abundantly distributed sustenance even to the idiots, so that intelligent men may take a lesson from this and know that the wealth of this world cannot be obtained by work or cunning.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 103, p. 34, no. 63] |
