Chapter on the Virtue of Charity
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 2|Book 1|Chapter 20
وَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: «ضَمِنْتُ عَلَى رَبِّي عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ لاَ يَسْأَلَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَاجَةٍ إِلاَّ اِضْطَرَّتْهُ اَلْمَسْأَلَةُ يَوْماً إِلَى أَنْ يَسْأَلَ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ».
Imam Ali ibn Al-Husayn عليه السلام said: "I have taken a pledge from my Lord عز وجل, the Mighty and Glorious, that anyone who asks without necessity will one day be compelled by circumstances to beg for a real need."
