Translated by Sayyid Ali Reza

وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام):

Amir al-mu'minin, peace be upon him, said:

شَارِكُوا الَّذِي

Be a sharer with him

قَدْ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ الرِّزْقُ،

who has an abundant livelihood

فَإِنَّهُ أَخْلَقُ لِلْغِنَى،

because he is more probable to get more riches

وَأَجْدَرُ بِإِقْبَالِ الْحَظِّ عَلَيْهِ.

and likely to secure an increase of the share therein.
