Chapter on the Virtue of Charity
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 2|Book 1|Chapter 20
وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَسْأَلُ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَاجَةٍ فَيَمُوتُ حَتَّى يُحْوِجَهُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهَا وَ يَكْتُبَ لَهُ بِهَا اَلنَّارَ ».
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "No servant asks [for something] without need except that they will die before Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Glorious, makes them truly in need of it, and it will be written against them as [a cause for] the Fire."
