A similar narration has been mentioned from Imam Sadiq, where one day a person from his followers came to him and complained about his poverty. That eternally beautiful Imam said, "You are rich and have drunk from the wine of affluence." The man was bewildered by the radiant expression of the Imam, wondering how he could be rich while he needed a single dirham. The Imam asked him: "Don't you have our love?" He replied: "Yes, O son of the Messenger of God." The Imam asked: "Would you exchange it for a thousand dinars?" He replied that he would not give it up for all the world and what is in it. The Imam then said: "How can a person who possesses something that he would not trade for the world be considered poor?"
