عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((مَنْ سَأَلَ مَسْأَلَةً عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى، اسْتَكْثَرَ بِهَا مِنْ رَضْفِ جَهَنَّمَ))، قَالُوا: مَا ظَهْرُ غِنَى؟ قَالَ: ((عَشَاءُ لَيْلَةٍ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever asks from people despite being self-sufficient, he is only increasing for himself the hot stones of Hell. The companions asked: What is the measure of sufficiency? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The evening meal.
