hadith 3963
Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily you will acquire your share - your sustenance is guaranteed and that which has been decreed for you will be fulfilled, so spare yourself the trouble of the wretchedness of greed and the humiliation of seeking [from others]; trust in Allah and take it easy in your earning.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّكَ مُدْرِكٌ قِسْمَكَ وَ مَضْمُونٌ رِزْقَكَ وَ مُسْتَوْف ما كُتِبَ لَكَ فَأَرِحْ نَفْسَكَ مِنْ شَقاءِ الحِرْصِ وَ مَذَلَّةِ الطَّلَبِ وَ ثِقْ بِاللّهِ وَ خَفِّضْ فِي المُكْتَسَبِ
