رُبَّ فَقِيرٍ هُوَ أَسْرَفُ مِنَ الْغَنِيِّ إِنَّ الْغَنِيَّ يُنْفِقُ مِمَّا أُوتِيَ وَ الْفَقِيرَ يُنْفِقُ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَا أُوتِيَ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad and Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Sama’at Bin Mihran, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Sometimes the poor one is more extravagant than the rich one. The rich one spends from what he has been given, and the poor one spends from that which does not belong to him’.
