Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘There are four kinds of people whose supplications do not get answered: the man who sits in his house saying, ‘O my Lord, grant me sustenance, to whom He says, ‘Did I not command you to seek [for your sustenance]?, then there is the man who has a wife and supplicates against her, to whom He replies, ‘Did I not make you responsible for her?, and a man who has wealth and wastes it, who says, ‘O my Lord, grant me sustenance, to whom He replies, ‘Did I not command you to be economical?…and a man who has wealth and loans it to someone without keeping any proof [of loan], to whom He replies, ‘Did I not command you to take a witness?!
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): أربعٌ لا يُستَجابُ لَهُم دعاءٌ: الرجلُ جالسٌ في بَيتِهِ يقولُ: يا ربِّ ارزُقْني ، فيقولُ لَهُ: ألَم آمُرْكَ بالطَّلَبِ ؟ ! ورجلٌ كانَت لَهُ امرأةٌ فَدَعا علَيها ، فيقولُ: ألَم أجعَلْ أمرَها بيدِكَ ؟! ورجلٌ كانَ لَهُ مالٌ فأفسَدَهُ فيقولُ: يا ربِّ ارزُقْني ، فيقولُ لَهُ: ألَم آمُرْكَ بالاقتِصادِ؟! ... ورجلٌ كانَ لَهُ مالٌ فأدانَهُ بغيرِ بَيِّنَةٍ فَيَقولُ: ألَم آمُرْكَ بِالشَّهادَةِ؟!
