سورة الهمزة

Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): الَّذِی جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ [Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision] means: he gathered wealth and set it aside in a corner.

Imam Rida (peace be upon him): Wealth is not amassed except through five traits: severe miserliness, long-drawn hopes, overpowering greed, severing of ties of kinship, and preferring this world over the hereafter.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): Aban al-Ahmar narrated from Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): A man came to him and said, "May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O son of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family)! Teach me an admonition." He said to him: "If Allah has guaranteed the provision, then why your worry? If sustenance is apportioned, then why the greed? If the reckoning is real, then why the amassing? If reward is truly from Allah, then why the laziness? If Allah gives the replacement for what is spent, then why the miserliness and stinginess?"
