Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of the Prophet of God (a.s)
“There shall come a time when people cannot get into power except by being jealous and seizure of people's property; cannot become popular except by abandoning religion and following their selfish desires. God will reward anyone who lives in that time; and is patient with poverty although he can acquire wealth; and is patient with baseness although he can attain glory. His reward will be equal to the reward of fifty believers who have acknowledged Me.”
عن الصادق (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): يأتي على الناس زمان لا ينال فيه الملك إلا بالقتل والتجبر، ولا الغنى إلا بالغصب والبخل، ولا المحبة إلا باستخراج الدين واتباع الهوى، فمن أدرك ذلك الزمان فصبر على البغضة وهو يقدر على المحبة، وصبر على الفقر وهو يقدر على الغنى، وصبر على الذل وهو يقدر على العز، آتاه الله ثواب خمسين صديقا ممن صدق به.
