Hadith 224
۞
6. Ali has narrated from his father from al-Nawfali from al-Sakuni from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following
“The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘How ugly is poverty after riches, sin in destitution and worst of all worshipping Allah and then giving up His worship.’”
6ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) مَا أَقْبَحَ الْفَقْرَ بَعْدَ الْغِنَى وَأَقْبَحَ الْخَطِيئَةَ بَعْدَ الْمَسْكَنَةِ وَأَقْبَحُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْعَابِدُ لله ثُمَّ يَدَعُ عِبَادَتَهُ.
