Chapter on Sustaining Blessings Through Bearing Financial Burdens
وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «أَحْسِنُوا جِوَارَ نِعَمِ اَللَّهِ وَ اِحْذَرُوا أَنْ تَنْتَقِلَ عَنْكُمْ إِلَى غَيْرِكُمْ أَمَا إِنَّهَا لَنْ تَنْتَقِلَ عَنْ أَحَدٍ قَطُّ فَكَادَتْ تَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ «قَلَّ مَا أَدْبَرَ شَيْءٌ فَأَقْبَلَ» ».
Imam عليه السلام said: "Be kind in your dealings with Allah’s سبحانه وتعالى blessings, and beware of them being transferred from you to others. Indeed, once blessings leave someone, they rarely return to them." And Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام used to say: "Rarely does something that departs come back again."
