276. From him, from Moalla, from Al-Washa, from Abdul Kareem Bin Amro, from Ammar Bin Marwaan, from Al-Fazeyl Bin Yasaar who said: Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘When you see that poverty and need has abounded (too much), and the people are denying each other, await the Command of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you (asws), these two – poverty and need, I recognise them, so what is, ‘people denying each other’?’ He (asws) said: ‘A man from among you comes to his brother, so he asks him for his need, and he looks at him with a look with which he did not use to look at him before, and he speaks to him by a tongue (manner) in which he did not speak to him before’.
