[Machine] I heard Al-Hasan say, "By Allah, I have encountered a group of people, even though one of them inherits vast wealth." He said, "By Allah, it requires great effort and exertion." He said, "So he says to his brother, 'O brother, I know that this is an inheritance and it is permissible, but I fear that it may corrupt my heart and my deeds. So it is for you, I do not need it.' He said, "So he does not take anything from him at all." He said, "And by Allah, it requires great effort and exertion." He said, "And I heard Al-Hasan say, "By Allah, I have encountered a group of people who were more ascetic in what Allah made lawful for them than you are in what He prohibited for you. And indeed, they were more afraid that their good deeds would not be accepted than you are afraid of your bad deeds being taken into account."
