Imam al-Sadiq (AS), when a man mentioned the rich people in his presence, defaming them, replied, ‘Be quiet! For verily if the rich man maintains relations with his kin and does good to his fellow brothers [with the aid of his riches], Allah doubles his reward for him, for Allah has said, “It is not your wealth, nor your children, that will bring you close to Us in nearness, except those who have faith and act righteously. It is they for whom there will be a twofold reward for what they did, and they will be secure in lofty abodes.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ لَمّا ذَكَرَ رجُلٌ عندَهُ الأغنياءَ ووَقَعَ فيهِم ـ: اُسكُتْ ! فإنَّ الغَنيَّ إذا كانَ وَصُولاً لِرَحِمِهِ بارّاً بِإخوانِهِ، أضعَفَ اللّهُ لَهُ الأجرَ ضِعفَينِ ؛ لأنَّ اللّهَ يقولُ: «وما أموالُكُم ولا أولادُكُم بالّتي تُقَرِّبُكُم عِندَنا زُلْفى إلّا مَن آمَنَ وعَمِلَ صالِحاً فاُولئكَ لَهُم جَزاءُ الضِّعْفِ بِما عَمِلُوا وهُمْ في الغُرُفاتِ آمِنونَ». الآية.
