Source (Arabic)
ولا تطمئنّ بخزائنك فاطمئنّ بفضل الله ربّك ثمّ توكّل عليه في أمورك وكن من المتوكّلين، فاستعن بالله ثمّ استغن من غنائه وعنده خزائن السّموات والأرض يعطي من يشاء ويمنع عمّن يشاء لا إله إلّا هو الغنيّ الحميد، كلّ فقراء لدى باب رحمته وضعفاء لدى ظهور سلطانه وكلّ من جوده لمن السّائلين،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Place not thy reliance on thy treasures. Put thy whole confidence in the grace of God, thy Lord. Let Him be thy trust in whatever thou doest, and be of them that have submitted themselves to His Will. Let Him be thy helper and enrich thyself with His treasures, for with Him are the treasuries of the heavens and of the earth. He bestoweth them upon whom He will, and from whom He will He withholdeth them. There is none other God but Him, the All-Possessing, the All-Praised. All are but paupers at the door of His mercy; all are helpless before the revelation of His sovereignty, and beseech His favors.
