Ali ibn Hussein (a.s) said: “Express your lack of need from other people, as this is the true state of being needless, and ask others less for what you need, since this asking is exactly being poor by itself.”
عن علي بن الحسين (عليه السلام) قال
أظهر اليأس من الناس فإن ذلك هو الغنى، وأقلل طلب الحوائج إليهم فإن ذلك فقر حاضر.
