Hadith record

Hadith.1747 - It is narrated from Al-Waleed ibn Sabeeh who said: "I was with Abu Abdullah (as) when a beggar came to him, and he gave to him. Then another came, and he gave to him. Then a third came, and he gave to him. Then a fourth came, and he said, 'May Allah (swt) grant you abundance.' Then he said, 'If a man had wealth amounting to thirty or forty thousand dirhams and wished to spend all of it in rightful ways, he could do so and leave himself with nothing. However, he would then be among the three whose supplication is rejected.' I asked: 'Who are they?' Imam (as) replied: 'One of them is a man who had wealth but spent it in ways other than those Allah (swt) approves, and then says, "My Lord (azj), provide for me." Allah (swt), the Almighty, will say, "Did I not provide for you already?" Another is a man who sits in his house and does not strive to seek sustenance but says, "My Lord (azj), provide for me." Allah (swt), the Almighty, will say, "Did I not make a way for you to seek sustenance?" And the third is a man with a wife who causes him harm, and he says, "My Lord (azj), free me from her." Allah (swt), the Almighty, will say, "Did I not place her matter in your hands?"'"
