قَالَ الصَّادِقُ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ع إِنَّ فِيمَا نَزَلَ بِهِ الْوَحْيُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ لَوْ أَنَّ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَيْنِ يَسِيلَانِ ذَهَباً وَ فِضَّةً لَابْتَغَى إِلَيْهِمَا ثَالِثاً يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّمَا بَطْنُكَ بَحْرٌ مِنَ الْبُحُورِ وَ وَادٍ مِنَ الْأَوْدِيَةِ لَا يَمْلَأُهُ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ.

Hadith.5912 - Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal narrated from Maysar that Abu Abdullah Imam Al-Sadiq Ja'far ibn Muhammad (as) said: "Indeed, among what was revealed in the divine revelation from the heavens is that if the son of Adam had two flowing valleys of gold and silver, he would still seek a third. O' son of Adam! Your stomach is but an ocean among oceans and a valley among valleys; nothing will fill it except dust."
