Imam Kazim (a.s) said: “God the Almighty said: I did not make the rich ones rich for their honor near Me, and I did not make the poor ones poor for their humiliation near Me. Rather this is how I test the rich by the poor people. If there were no poor people, none of the rich people could be certified to go to Heaven.”
عن أبي الحسن موسى (عليه السلام) قال
إن الله عز وجل يقول: إني لم أغن الغني لكرامة له علي، ولم أفقر الفقير لهوان به علي، وهو مما ابتليت به الأغنياء بالفقراء، ولولا الفقراء لم يستوجب الأغنياء الجنة.
