وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «ضَمِنْتُ لِمَنِ اِقْتَصَدَ أَنْ لاَ يَفْتَقِرَ ».
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) said: "I guarantee for the one who practices moderation that they will not face poverty."
وقال الله عز وجل: " يسألونك ماذا ينفقون قل العفو " والعفو الوسط. وقال الله عز وجل: " والذين إذا أنفقوا لم يسرفوا ولم يقتروا وكان بين ذلك قواما " والقوام الوسط.
Allah (swt), the Glorified and Exalted, said: "They ask you what they should spend. Say: 'What is surplus.'" (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:219) – and 'surplus' refers to moderation. And Allah (swt), the Glorified and Exalted, also said: "And those who, when they spend, are neither extravagant nor miserly, but keep to a balance between those extremes." (Surah Al-Furqan, 25:67) – 'balance' refers to moderation.
