"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: إِنَّ الْمَرْءَ الْمُسْلِمَ مَا لَمْ يَغْشَ دَنَاءَةً يَخْشَعُ لَهَا إِذَا ذُكِرَتْ، وَتُغْرِى بِهِ لِئَامَ النَّاسِ كَالْيَاسِرِ يَنْتَظِرُ فوْزَةً مِنْ قِدَاحِهِ أَوْ دَاعِى الله فَمَا عِنْدَ اللهِ خَيْرٌ لِلأَبْرَارِ".

"From Ali who said: Indeed the Muslim man, as long as he does not commit a base act at which he is humbled when it is mentioned, and which entices the base of people toward him, is like the gambler awaiting a winning arrow from his arrows, or the caller of Allah. So what is with Allah is better for the righteous."
