Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Rida [a] said: "Wealth does not (excessively) accumulate but by having five traits: extreme miserliness, high expectations, overwhelming greed, breaking off ties with one's kindred, and preferring this world to the next."

Imam Muhammad Baqir [a] said: regard for kinship causes (five advantages):

1.The purification (and acceptance) of deeds.
2.Increase in wealth.
3.Repelling misfortunes.
4.Easiness in Reckoning, (in the Hereafter).
5.Prolonging life.
