Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘The greatest of regrets on the Day of Resurrection will be the regret of a man who gained wealth through means of disobedience Allah, which was then inherited by a man who spent it in the obedience of Allah, glory be to Him; thus because of it [i.e. the same wealth] the latter entered Paradise whereas the former entered the Fire.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ أعْظَمَ الحَسَراتِ يَومَ القِيامَةِ ، حَسْرَةُ رجُلٍ كَسَبَ مالاً في غَيرِ طاعَةِ اللّهِ ، فوَرِثَهُ رجُلٌ فأنْفَقَهُ في طاعةِ اللّهِ سُبحانَهُ ، فدَخَلَ بهِ الجَنّةَ ، ودَخَلَ الأوَّلُ بهِ النّارَ .
