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
