وَ رَوَى زُرَارَةُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "مَا يُخَلِّفُ اَلرَّجُلُ بَعْدَهُ شَيْئاً أَشَدَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ اَلْمَالِ اَلصَّامِتِ " قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ قَالَ "يَضَعُهُ فِي اَلْحَائِطِ وَ اَلْبُسْتَانِ وَ اَلدَّارِ".

Zurara narrated from Abu Abdillah (a.s): "A man does not leave behind anything more burdensome upon him than silent wealth (hoarded wealth)." I asked him, "What should he do with it?" Imam (a.s) replied: "Invest it in walls, orchards, and houses."
