۳۲۸. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام): إِنَّ اللهَ سُبْحَانَهُ فَرَضَ فِي أَمْوَالِ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ أَقْوَاتَ الْفُقَرَاءِ، فَمَا جَاعَ فَقِيرٌ إِلَّا بِمَا مَنَعَ بِهِ غَنِي، وَاللهُ تَعَالَى سَائِلُهُمْ عَنْ ذلِكَ.

328. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: Allāh, the Glorified, has fixed the livelihood of the destitute in the wealth of the rich. Consequently, whenever a destitute remains hungry it is because some rich person has denied (him his share). Allāh, the Sublime, will question them about it.

328. Dieu a imposé aux biens des riches le devoir de nourrir les pauvres: le pauvre ne souffre de la faim que parce que le riche jouit d’un bien qui lui est dû. Et Dieu en demandera des comptes.
