AhadithIndolence and Poverty

>

إنَّ الأشْياءَ لَمّا ازْدَوَجَتْ إزْدَوَجَ الْكَسَلُ و الْعَجْزُ فَنَتَجا بَيْنَهُمَا الْفَقْرَ

Imam ‘Ali (a.s.) said

The day in which everything married with one another, “indolence” and “weakness” mingled with each other, and their child was called “poverty and indigence”.
