Question 1876: What solutions are recommended in narrations for improving one's livelihood?

✅ Answer: Consider the following narrations:

1⃣عَنْ زَیْدٍ الشَّحَّامِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ یَقُولُ مَنْ أَغَاثَ أَخَاهُ الْمُؤْمِنَ اللَّهْفَانَ اللَّهْثَانَ عِنْدَ جَهْدِهِ فَنَفَّسَ کُرْبَتَهُ وَ أَعَانَهُ عَلَی نَجَاحِ حَاجَتِهِ کَتَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ بِذَلِکَ ثِنْتَیْنِ وَ سَبْعِینَ رَحْمَةً مِنَ اللَّهِ یُعَجِّلُ لَهُ مِنْهَا وَاحِدَةً یُصْلِحُ بِهَا أَمْرَ مَعِیشَتِهِ وَ یَدَّخِرُ لَهُ إِحْدَی وَ سَبْعِینَ رَحْمَةً لِأَفْزَاعِ یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَةِ وَ أَهْوَالِهِ.

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 2, p. 199

Zayd al-Shahham said: I heard Imam Sadiq (PBUH) say: Whoever comes to the aid of their afflicted, distressed, and thirsty believer brother during a time of hardship and removes their difficulty and helps them fulfill their need, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will grant them 72 mercies. One of these mercies will be hastened to improve their livelihood, while 71 will be reserved for the terrors and fears of the Day of Judgment.

2⃣عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ وَ الذَّارِیَاتِ فِی یَوْمِهِ أَوْ فِی لَیْلَتِهِ أَصْلَحَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مَعِیشَتَهُ وَ أَتَاهُ بِرِزْقٍ وَاسِعٍ وَ نَوَّرَ فِی قَبْرِهِ بِسِرَاجٍ یَزْهَرُ إِلَی یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَةِ.

📚 Thawab al-A'mal, p. 143

Imam Sadiq (PBUH) said: Whoever recites Surah al-Dhariyat during their day or night, Allah will improve their livelihood, grant them abundant sustenance, and light a lamp in their grave that will shine until the Day of Resurrection.

3⃣عَنْ یُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ الْهَاشِمِیِّ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: صِیَامُ شَعْبَانَ ذُخْرٌ لِلْعَبْدِ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَةِ وَ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ یُکْثِرُ الصَّوْمَ فِی شَعْبَانَ إِلَّا أَصْلَحَ اللَّهُ لَهُ أَمْرَ مَعِیشَتِهِ وَ کَفَاهُ شَرَّ عَدُوِّهِ وَ إِنَّ أَدْنَی مَا یَکُونُ لِمَنْ یَصُومُ یَوْماً مِنْ شَعْبَانَ أَنْ تَجِبَ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ.

📚 Amali al-Saduq, p. 24, Hadith 1

Imam Sadiq (PBUH) said: Fasting during the month of Sha'ban is a treasure for a servant on the Day of Judgment. There is no servant who fasts frequently in Sha'ban except that Allah improves their livelihood and protects them from the evil of their enemies. The least reward for fasting one day in Sha'ban is that Paradise becomes obligatory for them.

4⃣ قَالَ الرِّضَا علیه السلام: عَلَیْکُمْ بِصَلَاةِ اللَّیْلِ فَمَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ یَقُومُ آخِرَ اللَّیْلِ فَیُصَلِّی ثَمَانَ رَکَعَاتٍ وَ رَکْعَتَیِ الشَّفْعِ وَ رَکْعَةَ الْوَتْرِ وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ اللَّهَ فِی قُنُوتِهِ سَبْعِینَ مَرَّةً إِلَّا أُجِیرَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَ مِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ وَ مُدَّ لَهُ فِی عُمُرِهِ وَ وُسِّعَ عَلَیْهِ فِی مَعِیشَتِهِ.

📚 Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 87, p. 161

Imam Reza (PBUH) said: Be diligent in performing the night prayer. There is no servant who stands in the last part of the night and prays eight units of the night prayer, followed by two units of the shaf' prayer and one unit of the witr prayer, and recites 70 istighfar (seeking forgiveness) in their qunoot, except that they will be protected from the punishment of the grave and the fire of Hell, their lifespan will be increased, and their livelihood will be expanded.

✅ Alongside these actions for improving livelihood and business, one must avoid laziness and strive for their sustenance because:

5⃣عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: مَنْ کَسِلَ عَنْ طَهُورِهِ وَ صَلَاتِهِ فَلَیْسَ فِیهِ خَیْرٌ لِأَمْرِ آخِرَتِهِ وَ مَنْ کَسِلَ عَمَّا یُصْلِحُ بِهِ أَمْرَ مَعِیشَتِهِ فَلَیْسَ فِیهِ خَیْرٌ لِأَمْرِ دُنْیَاهُ.

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 5, p. 85

Imam Sadiq (PBUH) said: Whoever is lazy in their purification and prayer has no good in their afterlife, and whoever is lazy in what improves their livelihood has no good in their worldly affairs!

✅ Let us not forget that praying frequently for the hastening of the reappearance (of Imam Mahdi) is a command and request from our master Imam al-Mahdi (PBUH).

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْر
