Tradition n. 223

قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم:

مَن سَرَّهُ أَن يُبسَطَ لَهُ فِي رِزقِهِ وَ يُنسَأَ لَهُ في أَجَلِهِ فَل يَصِل رَحِمَهُ.

The Holy Prophet (S) said: “He who wishes that his sustenance be increased for him and his death day be delayed, then he should pay attention to his kinsfolk.”

Tradition n. 224

قالَ الإمامُ عَلِيّ بنُ مُوسَى الرِّضا عليه السلام :

لا يَجتَمِـعُ المالُ إلاّ بِخِصالٍ خَمسٍ: بِبُخلٍ شَدِيدٍ وَ اَمَلٍ طَوِيلٍ وَ حِرصٍ غالِبٍ وَ قَطِيعَة الرَّحِمِ وَ اِيثارِالدّنيا عَلَى الآخِرَة.

Imam ‘Ali Ibn Musa al-Ridha’ (‘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.”

قالَ اَبُو جَعفَرٍ البَاقِرُ عليه السلام :

صِلَة الأرحامِ تُزَكِّي الأعمالَ وَ تُنمِي الأموالَ وَ تَدفَعُ البَلوى وَ تُيَسِّرُ الحِسابَ وَ تُنسِئُ فِي الأجَلِ.

1. The purification (and acceptance) of deeds.

4. Easiness in Reckoning, (in the Hereafter).

5. Prolonging life.
