و درود خدا بر او فرمود: از دست دادن حاجت بهتر از درخواست کردن از نااهل است. Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, said: To miss what one needs is easier than to beg from an inappropriate person

وَ قَالَ (عليه السلام): فَوْتُ الْحَاجَةِ أَهْوَنُ مِنْ طَلَبِهَا إِلَي غَيْرِ أَهْلِهَا.

Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, said: To miss what one needs is easier than to beg from an inappropriate person
