1-58 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted on the authority of Yaqoob ibn Yazid, on the authority of Ibn Mahboob, on the authority of Ali ibn al-Hussein ibn Ribat who linked it up to a man who complained to the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (MGB) about his needs. The Commander of the Faithful (MGB) said, “Know that you are only a treasurer for other people for what you earn from this world that is more than your meals.”
IsnādAbu a rapporté, que Dieu soit satisfait de lui, a dit: Saad ibn Abdullah nous a informés, de la part de Ya'qub ibn Yazid, de la part d'Ibn Mahbub, de la part d'Ali ibn al-Hussein ibn Rabat, qu'il a dit:
Un homme se plaignit au Commandeur des croyants, que la paix soit sur lui, de sa situation difficile. Il lui répondit: Sache que tout ce que tu obtiens dans ce monde au-delà de tes besoins, tu n'en es que le gardien pour autrui.
