اللهم ... وَ ازْوِ عَنّي مِنَ الْمَالِ مَا يُحْدِثُ لِي مَخِيلَةً أَوْ تَأَدّياً إِلَى بَغْيٍ أَوْ مَا أَتَعَقّبُ مِنْهُ طُغْيَاناً. اللّهُمّ حَبّبْ إِلَيّ صُحْبَةَ الْفُقَرَاءِ، وَ أَعِنّي عَلَى صُحْبَتِهِمْ بِحُسْنِ الصّبْرِ وَ مَا زَوَيْتَ عَنّي مِنْ مَتَاعِ الدّنْيَا الْفَانِيَةِ فَاذْخَرْهُ لِي فِي خَزَائِنِكَ الْبَاقِيَةِ وَ اجْعَلْ مَا خَوّلْتَنِي مِنْ حُطَامِهَا، وَ عَجّلْتَ لِي مِنْ مَتَاعِهَا بُلْغَةً إِلَى جِوَارِكَ وَ وُصْلَةً إِلَى قُرْبِكَ وَ ذَرِيعَةً إِلَى جَنّتِكَ، إِنّكَ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ، وَ أَنْتَ الْجَوَادُ الْكَرِيمُ
O God, take away from me any possession which will bring forth pride in me, lead to insolence, or drag me in its heels to rebellion! O God, make me love the companionship of the poor and help me be their companion with excellent patience! Whenever Thou takest away from me the goods of this perishing world, store them for me in Thy abiding treasuries! Make this world's broken pieces which Thou hast conferred upon me. and its goods which Thou hast quickly granted to me, a way to reach Thy neighbourhood, a link to Thy nearness, and a means to Thy Garden! Verily Thou art Possessor of abounding bounty, and Thou art the Munificent, the Generous. (part of supplication No. 30, al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya by Imam Sajjad)
