قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‌ مَا أَشَدَّ حُزْنَ النِّسَاءِ وَ أَبْعَدَ فِرَاقَ الْمَوْتِ‌[2] وَ أَشَدُّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ فَقْرٌ يَتَمَلَّقُ صَاحِبُهُ ثُمَّ لَا يُعْطَى شَيْئاً. حَدِيثُ يَأْجُوجَ وَ مَأْجُوجَ‌

Abu Abdullah (asws) has said that the Rasool Allah (saww) said: ‘There is nothing more intense than the grief of a woman, nor anything more remote than the separation of the death, and more intense than all of that is poverty. One flatters his companion, who then does not give him anything’.
