"It is not asceticism that you should not possess anything; rather, ascetism is that nothing should possess you,"
"Asceticism in this world is not to prohibit what is lawful or to leave wealth alone; rather, asceticism in this world is that you should not have more confidence in what is your hand than what is in the hand of God"

“Detachment is not that you should own nothing, but that nothing should own you.”- Ali (radii allaho anho)
