1. اِيّاكَ وَالحِرص اِنَّ الحِرصَ مهلكةٌ

    وَاِقنَع بِما هُوَ مَرزوقٌ وَمَقسومُ

    Beware of greed, for greed is a cause of ruin.

    And be content with what is provided and allotted.

  2. ما زادَ حِرصُ اِمرىءٍ في رزقِهِ وَكَفى

    اِنَّ الحَريصَ عَلى الحالَينِ مَذموم

    No man's greed has increased his sustenance; and it is enough

    that the greedy man is blameworthy in either case.
