Misappropriation causes misfortune
The Holy Prophet (S) remarks,
“Trustworthiness causes one to be self sufficient (financially) and misappropriation causes poverty.”
(Wasa’il ul-Shia)
The narrator says that I said to Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.),
“There is a lady in Madinah, with whom people leave their daughters for training (and education). We have observed that she could maintain herself with so less, but we have never known her to have any financial problem.”
Imam Sadiq (a.s.) remarked,
“It is because she is truthful and trustworthy. These two qualities increase sustenance.”
(Wasa’il ul-Shia)
Another tradition from the same Imam (a.s.) is as follows:
“Do not be deceived by the prolonged sajda and RukÅ«’ of a man, they may be a part of his habits (that he could not avoid). See his truth and trustworthiness.”
Thus it is these qualities that prove righteousness and piety.
