Gleanings — Paragraph 480
Source (Arabic)
تفرّط في الأمور فاعمل بين خدّامك بالعدل ثمّ أنفق عليهم على قدر ما يحتاجون به لا على قدر الّذي يكنزونه ويجعلونه زينة لأنفسهم وبيوتهم ويصرفونه في أمور الّتي لن يحتاجوا بها ويكوننّ من المسرفين، فاعدل بينهم على الخطّ الاستواء بحيث لن يحتاج
Translation
Overstep not the bounds of moderation, and deal justly with them that serve thee. Bestow upon them according to their needs, and not to the extent that will enable them to lay up riches for themselves, to deck their persons, to embellish their homes, to acquire the things that are of no benefit unto them, and to be numbered with the extravagant. Deal with them with undeviating justice, so that none among them may either suffer want, or be pampered with luxuries. This is but manifest justice.
