2 hadiths
۳۵۶. وَقِيلَ لَهُ (عليه ‏السلام) لَوْ سُدَّ عَلَى رَجُلٍ بَابُ بَيْتِهِ، وَتُرِكَ فِيهِ مِنْ أَيْنَ كَانَ يَأْتِيهِ رِزْقُهُ؟ فَقَالَ (عليه السلام):
356. It was said to Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him: If a man is left in his house and the door is closed, from where will his livelihood reach him. And he replied:
مِنْ حَيْثُ يَأْتِيهِ أَجَلُهُ.
From whatever way his death reaches him. [1]
