Chapter on the Virtue of Generosity and Munificence
وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي اَلْعَبْدِ حَاجَةٌ اِبْتَلاَهُ بِالْبُخْلِ ».
The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام said: "If Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, has no need for a servant, He tests him with miserliness."
