Huziqat ibn Mansoor narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said
“Do not do something for your believing brother that harms you more than it helps him.” Ibn San'an said: “This means that if, for example, someone has a great debt and you have a little bit of property, do not try to use your property to pay back his debt. This will end up in you losing your property and will also still leave him in debt.”
عن حذيفة بن منصور عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
لا تدخل لأخيك في أمر مضرته عليك أعظم من منفعته له. قال ابن سنان: يعني أن الرجل يكون عليه دين كثير ولك مال قليل فتؤدي عنه فيذهب مالك ولا تكون قضيت دينه.
