hadith 9579
Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily your wealth is for the one who praises you in your lifetime and the one who vilifies you after your death.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ مالَكَ لِحامِدِكَ في حَياتِكَ وَ لِذامِّكَ بَعْدَ وَفاتِكَ

hadith 9582
Imam Ali (AS) said, Surely the person with the greatest regret on the Day of Resurrection will be the man who earns wealth without obeying [the commandments of] Allah, then a man inherits his wealth and spends it in obedience to Allah and through it enters Paradise whereas the first one enters Hell because of it.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ أعْظَمَ النّاسِ حَسْرَةً يَوْمَ القِيامَةِ رَجُلٌ اكْتَسَبَ مالاً مِنْ غَيْرِ طاعَةِ اللّهِ فَوَرَّثَهُ رَجُلاً أنْفَقَهُ في طاعَةِ اللّهِ فَدَخَلَ بِهِ الجَنَّةَ وَ دَخَلَ بِهِ الأوَّلُ النّارَ

hadith 9590
Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily that which is in your possession has had an owner before you and will go to someone after you. You are only amassing [wealth] for one of two kinds of people: either the one who will use what you amassed in obedience to Allah, thereby becoming felicitous by that which made you wretched, or the one who will use what you amassed in disobedience to Allah, thereby becoming wretched by what you amassed, and neither of these two deserve to be preferred by you over yourself or of being carried by you on your back.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ الَّذي في يَدَيْكَ قَدْ كانَ لَهُ أهْلٌ قَبْلَكَ وَ هُوَ صائِرٌ إلى مَنْ بَعْدَكَ وَ إنَّما أنْتَ جامِع لأحَدِ رَجُلَيْنِ: إمّا رَجُل عَمِلَ فيما جَمَعْتَ بِطاعَةِ اللّهِ فَسَعِدَ بِما شَقيتَ بِهِ أوْ رَجُل عَمِلَ فيما جَمَعْتَ بِمَعْصيَةِ اللّهِ فَشَقِيَ بِما جَمَعْتَ وَ لَيْسَ أحَدُ هذَيْنِ أهْلاً أنْ تُؤْثِرَهُ عَلى نَفْسِكَ وَ لاتَحْمِلَ لَهُ عَلى ظَهْرِكَ

hadith 9603
Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily only the wealth which you send ahead for your Hereafter is yours, while that which you leave behind belongs to your heirs.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّما لَكَ مِنْ مالِكَ ما قَدَّمْتَهُ لآخِرَتِكَ وَما أخَّرْتَهُ فَلِلْوارِثِ

hadith 9604
Imam Ali (AS) said, When you accumulate wealth, then you are [actually] a representative for another person who will rejoice with it while you become miserable.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إذا جَمَعْتَ المالَ فَأنْتَ فيهِ وَكيلٌ لِغَيْرِكَ يَسْعَدُ بِهِ وَ تَشْقى أنْتَ

hadith 9605
Imam Ali (AS) said, When you send forth your wealth for your Hereafter and leave [the affair of] your heirs in the hands of Allah, you will be felicitous by that which you have forwarded and Allah will take good care of those whom you leave behind.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إذا قَدَّمْتَ مالَكَ لآخِرَتِكَ وَ اسْتَخْلَفْتَ اللّهَ سُبْحانَهُ عَلى مَنْ خَلَّفْتَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ سَعِدْتَ بِما قَدَّمْتَ وَ أحْسَنَ اللّهُ لَكَ الخَلافَةَ عَلى مَنْ خَلَّفْتَ

hadith 9643
Imam Ali (AS) said, Whoever withholds wealth from the one who praises him bequeaths it to one who does not praise him.

hadith 9650
Imam Ali (AS) said, Never leave behind anything from this world, for indeed you will [only] be leaving it for one of two types of people: either the man who uses it in obedience to Allah, so he becomes felicitous by that which made you wretched, or the man who uses it in disobeying Allah, in which case you will have been a helper for him in his disobedience, and neither of these two deserves to be preferred by you over yourself.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : لاتُخْلِفَنَّ وَراءَكَ شَيْئاً مِنَ الدُّنْيا فَإنَّكَ تُخَلِّفُهُ لأحَدِ رَجُلَيْنِ: إمّا رَجُل عَمِلَ فيهِ بِطاعَةِ اللّهِ فَسَعِدَ بِما شَقيتَ بِهِ وَ إمّا رَجُل عَمِلَ فيهِ بِمَعْصيَةِ اللّهِ فَكُنْتَ عَوْناً لَهُ عَلَى المَعْصِيَةِ وَ لَيْسَ أحَدُ هذَيْنِ حَقيقاً أنْ تُؤْثِرَهُ عَلى نَفْسِكَ
