Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq
عليه السلام regarding the words of Allah
سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, "Thus Allah
سبحانه وتعالى will show them their deeds as regrets upon them" (Surah Al-Baqarah
2:167), said: "This refers to a man who hoards his wealth and refrains from spending it in the obedience of Allah
سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, out of miserliness. Then he dies and leaves it behind for someone who either uses it in the obedience of Allah
سبحانه وتعالى or in His disobedience. If it is used in obedience to Allah
سبحانه وتعالى, he will see it recorded in someone else's scale of deeds and will feel regret, for the wealth was originally his. And if it is used in disobedience to Allah
سبحانه وتعالى, he will have enabled the person who committed sins with that wealth, furthering their disobedience to Allah
سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted."
