Hadith.5894 - Al-Hasan ibn Rashid narrated from Abu Hamza Al-Thumali, from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), who said: 'A man came to the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, and said: "Teach me something, O' Messenger of Allah (swt)." Prophet (sw) said: "You must renounce what is in the hands of people, for it is immediate wealth." The man said: "Increase me (in knowledge), O' Messenger of Allah (swt)." Prophet (sw) said: "Beware of greed, for it is present poverty." The man said: "Increase me (in knowledge), O' Messenger of Allah (swt)." Prophet (sw) said: "When you intend to undertake something, consider its consequences. If it is good or leads to guidance, follow it; and if it is evil or leads to misguidance, abandon it."
