Hadith record

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa ibn ‘Ubayd from abu Jamilah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) has said, ‘It was in the will of Amir al-Mu’minin (Ali ibn abu Talib) (a.s.) to his companions, “You must know that this Quran is guidance day and night and it is the light in the dark night that is due to hardships and destitution. When misfortune befalls, protect yourselves with your properties. When a misfortune (to religion) befalls, protect your religion with yourselves. You must know that the destroyed, in reality, is the one whose religion is destroyed and looted, in reality, is one whose religion is looted. It is certain that there is no poverty in paradise. It is also certain that there is no prosperity in hellfire, wherein its captives are never freed and there is no cure for its blind.’”
