817. THE SEEKER OF HIS SUSTENANCE

2559.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : لَو أنَّ ابنَ آدَمَ فَرَّ مِن رِزقِهِ كما يَفِرُّ مِنَ المَوتِ لَأَدرَكَهُ كما يُدرِكُهُ المَوتُ .1

2559.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'If man was to flee from his sustenance as he flees from death, it would find him just as death finds him.' 2

2560.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : الرِّزقُ يَطلُبُ مَن لا يَطلُبُهُ .3

2560.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Sustenance runs after the one who does not run after it.' 4

2561.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : إنَّ الرِّزقَ رِزقانِ : رِزقٌ تَطلُبُهُ ، ورِزقٌ يَطلُبُكَ ، فإن أنتَ لَم تَأتِهِ أتاكَ .5

2561.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'There are two types of sustenance: the sustenance that you seek out, and the sustenance that seeks you out, which even if you do not pursue it, it pursues you.' 6

2562.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : إنّ اللَّهَ عزّوجلّ جَعَلَ أرزاقَ المؤمنينَ مِن حيثُ لا يَحتَسِبُونَ ، وذلكَ أنَّ العَبدَ إذا لَم يَعرِفْ وَجهَ رِزقِهِ كَثُرَ دُعاؤهُ .7

2562.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Verily Allah, Mighty and Exalted, has placed the believers' livelihoods whence they do not anticipate it to come, and that is because when the servant does not know the location of his livelihood, his supplication for it increases. 8
