Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) said: “Minimum worldly goods will suffice whoever is content with the minimum necessities; but nothing will suffice one who is not content with the minimum necessities.”
قال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): من رضي من الدنيا بما يجزيه كان أيسر ما فيها يكفيه، ومن لم يرض من الدنيا بما يجزيه لم يكن فيها شئ يكفيه.
