[ The soul has become accustomed to miserliness ]
(Check the original text in Arabic ...)


And know that the soul is predisposed to miserliness. God Almighty said: And when good touches it in various ways, He says: And who can be saved from his own miserliness? The reason for that is that it is possible, and every possible thing is poor in authenticity to a likely factor for which its existence is more likely than its nonexistence. So the need for it is subjective, and the human being, as long as his life is connected to his body, his need is between his eyes and his poverty. He is attested, and the accursed one will come to him in his promise. Then Satan said, “Poverty promises you. Neither he nor Satan can overcome himself, except the one who is strong with divine success, for he fights himself and Satan who helps him against him. That is why the Lawgiver called it charity because it comes out of severity and strength.” It is said, “spear of truthfulness,” meaning strong and strong. If he did not hope to survive and was certain of separation, it would be easy for him.
