1634. hadíth

وَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: «ضَمِنْتُ عَلَى رَبِّي عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ لاَ يَسْأَلَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَاجَةٍ إِلاَّ اِضْطَرَّتْهُ اَلْمَسْأَلَةُ يَوْماً إِلَى أَنْ يَسْأَلَ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ».

Imam Ali ibn Al-Husayn (a.s) said: "I have taken a pledge from my Lord (azj), the Mighty and Glorious, that anyone who asks without necessity will one day be compelled by circumstances to beg for a real need."
