Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Give charity and be sure you will receive a reward later. Know that whoever does not give charity out of obedience to God will suffer later on from spending in the way of committing sins. And whoever does not attempt to help fulfill the needs of God's friends will later have to try to fulfill the needs of God's enemies.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
أنفق بالخلف، واعلم أنه من لم ينفق في طاعة الله ابتلي بأن ينفق في معصية الله، واعلم أن من لم يمش في حاجة ولي الله ابتلي بأن يمشي في حاجة عدو الله.
