Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Abstinence does not mean wasting your property, or forbidding what is allowed by God, but it means that you do not trust what is in your own hands more that what is in God's hands.
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
ليس الزهد في الدنيا بإضاعة المال ولا بتحريم الحلال، بل الزهد في الدنيا أن لا تكون بما في يدك أوثق منك بما في يد الله.
