112. Hafs, who has reported the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) has narrated that ‘
Isa (as) said: ‘It is intensely difficult to collect the provisions of the world and the provisions of the Hereafter, As for the provisions of the world, so you will not extend your hand towards something except that you will find an immoral one has preceded you for it, and as for the provisions of the Hereafter, so you will not find any helper who will help you for it’.
حَفْصٌ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ عِيسَى (عليه السلام) اشْتَدَّتْ مَئُونَةُ الدُّنْيَا وَ مَئُونَةُ الْآخِرَةِ أَمَّا مَئُونَةُ الدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَمُدُّ يَدَكَ إِلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْهَا إِلَّا وَجَدْتَ فَاجِراً قَدْ سَبَقَكَ إِلَيْهَا وَ أَمَّا مَئُونَةُ الْآخِرَةِ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَجِدُ أَعْوَاناً يُعِينُونَكَ عَلَيْهَا.
