فِي التَّوْرَاةِ مَكْتُوبٌ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ تَفَرَّغْ لِعِبَادَتِي أَمْلَأُ قَلْبَكَ غِنًى وَ لَا أَكِلْكَ إِلَى طَلَبِكَ وَ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَسُدَّ فَاقَتَكَ وَ أَمْلَأَ قَلْبَكَ خَوْفاً مِنِّي وَ إِنْ لَا تَفَرَّغْ لِعِبَادَتِي أَمْلَأُ قَلْبَكَ شُغُلًا بِالدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ لَا أَسُدَّ فَاقَتَكَ وَ أَكِلْكَ إِلَى طَلَبِكَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Umar Bin Yazeed, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘It is written in the Torah: ‘O son of Adam<sup>as</sup>! Free yourself for My<sup>azwj</sup>worship, I<sup>azwj</sup> shall Fill your heart with riches and will not Fatigue you to your seeking (sustenance), and it would be upon Me<sup>azwj</sup> to Aim to excel you and fill your heart with fear from Me<sup>azwj</sup>, and that if you don’t free yourself for My<sup>azwj</sup> worship, I<sup>azwj</sup> shall fill your heart with a pre-occupation with the world, then I<sup>azwj</sup> will not excel you and will Exhaust you to the seeking (of the livelihood)’.
