وَ رَوَى اَلسَّكُونِيُّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "مَنْ أَتَاهُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِرِزْقٍ لَمْ يَخْطُ إِلَيْهِ بِرِجْلِهِ وَ لَمْ يَمُدَّ إِلَيْهِ يَدَهُ وَ لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ فِيهِ بِلِسَانِهِ وَ لَمْ يَشُدَّ إِلَيْهِ ثِيَابَهُ وَ لَمْ يَتَعَرَّضْ لَهُ كَانَ مِمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي كِتَابِهِ: وَ مَنْ يَتَّقِ اَللّٰهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجاً وَ يَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لاٰ يَحْتَسِبُ "
It is narrated by Al-Sakooni, from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, from his forefathers (peace be upon them) that Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام said: "Whoever receives sustenance from Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Glorious, without having walked towards it with his feet, nor extended his hand for it, nor spoken about it with his tongue, nor prepared himself for it by tightening his garments, nor exposed himself to acquire it-he is among those whom Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Glorious, mentioned in His Book: 'And whoever fears Allah سبحانه وتعالى, He will make a way out for him, and will provide for him from where he does not expect.'" (Surah At-Talaq 65:2-3)
