Hadith.5836 - Muhammad ibn Ziyad Al-Azdi narrated from Aban ibn Uthman Al-Ahmar, from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq 
, that a man came to him and said:
"May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O' son of the Messenger of Allah (swt), teach me something that will admonish me."
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq , said to him:
"If Allah (swt), the Exalted, has ensured sustenance, then why are you anxious about it?
If sustenance is already apportioned, then why the greed?
If accountability is real, then why the accumulation (of wealth)?
If compensation from Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, is certain, then why the stinginess?
If punishment from Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, is the Fire, then why the disobedience?
If death is inevitable, then why the joy (in worldly matters)?
If standing before Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, is certain, then why the deceit?
If Satan is an enemy, then why the heedlessness?
If crossing the Sirat (the bridge over Hell) is certain, then why the arrogance?
If everything is by Allah's (swt) decree and destiny, then why the sorrow?
And if the world is perishable, then why the tranquility in it?"
