ذَمُّ طَلَبِ الحاجَةِ The Need

1ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : امْنُنْ على مَن شِئْتَ تَكُنْ أميرَهُ ، واحْتَجْ إلى مَن شِئْتَ تَكُنْ أسيرَهُ ، واسْتَغْنِ عَمّن شِئتَ تَكُنْ نَظيرَهُ.

1– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Grant to whomsoever you please and you will be his emir; ask your need from whomsoever you please and you will be his prisoner; be free of need from whomsoever you please and you will be his equal.’[al-Khisal, p. 420, no. 14]
 

2ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : مَنِ احْتَجْتَ إلَيهِ هُنْتَ علَيهِ.

2– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Whoever you have sought your need from, you have lowered yourself in his eyes.’[Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 8610]
