فِي حِكْمَةِ آلِ دَاوُدَ ع أَنَّ عَلَى الْعَاقِلِ أَنْ لَا يَكُونَ ظَاعِناً[2] إِلَّا فِي ثَلَاثٍ تَزَوُّدٍ لِمَعَادٍ أَوْ مَرَمَّةٍ لِمَعَاشٍ[3] أَوْ لَذَّةٍ فِي غَيْرِ مُحَرَّمٍ.

"In the wisdom of the family of Dawood (as) it is stated that it is incumbent upon the intelligent person not to travel except for one of three purposes: gathering provisions for the Hereafter, seeking sustenance for livelihood, or indulging in permissible pleasure."

وَ رَوَى جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ[5] عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ‌ إِذَا سَبَّبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِعَبْدٍ الرِّزْقَ فِي أَرْضٍ جَعَلَ لَهُ فِيهَا حَاجَةً.

"When Allah (swt), the Glorious and Majestic, decrees sustenance for a servant in a particular land, He creates a need for him in that land."
