كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَجَاءَهُ سَائِلٌ فَأَعْطَاهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ آخَرُ فَأَعْطَاهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ آخَرُ فَأَعْطَاهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ آخَرُ فَقَالَ يَسَعُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ رَجُلًا لَوْ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ يَبْلُغُ ثَلَاثِينَ أَوْ أَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ ثُمَّ شَاءَ أَنْ لَا يَبْقَى مِنْهَا إِلَّا وَضَعَهَا فِي حَقٍّ لَفَعَلَ فَيَبْقَى لَا مَالَ لَهُ فَيَكُونُ مِنَ الثَّلَاثَةِ الَّذِينَ يُرَدُّ دُعَاؤُهُمْ قُلْتُ مَنْ هُمْ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ رَجُلٌ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ فَأَنْفَقَهُ فِي غَيْرِ وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا رَبِّ ارْزُقْنِي فَقَالَ لَهُ أَ لَمْ أَجْعَلْ لَكَ سَبِيلًا إِلَى طَلَبِ الرِّزْقِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, from Al Waleed Bin sabeeh who said, ‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, so a beggar came over. So he<sup>asws</sup> gave him. Then another one came over, so he<sup>asws</sup> gave him. Then another one came over, so he<sup>asws</sup> gave him. Then another one came over, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Extend upon you’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If a man, even if he had wealth reaching up to thirty or forty thousand Dirhams, then he so desires that there should not remain anything from it except that he should place it in a rightful way. So he does it, and there does not remain any wealth for himself, so he would happen to be from the three (kinds of people) whose supplications would be returned (unanswered)’. I said, ‘Who are they?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘One of them is a man who had wealth for him, so he spent it in other than its (rightful) way, then said, ‘O Lord<sup>azwj</sup>! Grace me’. So He<sup>azwj</sup> Would Say to him: “Did I not Make a way for you to seeking the livelihood?’
