Sayyiduna Imam al-Hussain Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho:
 

• Dishonoured is he, who is a Miser.
• If you wish to become a leader then make action and movement, toil and labour your business.
• You are seeing the different types of business dealings shows that the World is changing its colours (becoming more fickle), turning its face away, emptying itself of good, but we still have a little time, a contemptible life is left, danger and fearfulness has enclosed, Alas with regret, can’t you see that justice and truth have been placed behind, falsehood is being practised openly, whosoever hand you grab to rescue he does not want to be rescued towards the everlasting and Almighty creator, nor does he wish to fulfil his duties to his Eternal Lord. I prefer martyrdom, instead of living a life under these oppressors for such a life is also a crime.
• The World has changed colours and it has been deprived of good, Is there nobody that would stop the oppressor from oppression, The time has come for the Mo’min to come forth and to sacrifice everything for the sake of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala.

• Do not keep high hopes for any remuneration for work which is more than necessary.
• If you know the results of a job will be difficult, then do not take its responsibilities upon your shoulders.

The best use of wealth is to modestly and honourably resolve it.
