میانه‌روی در انفاق

در روایتی بدین مضمون از امام صادق(ع) می‌خوانیم که اگر کسی چیزی از (نیازهای مربوط به) دنیا از پیامبر(ص) درخواست می‌کرد. به او می‌بخشید. روزی زنی پسرش را نزد پیامبر فرستاد و به او گفت: از پیامبر چیزی بخواه و اگر گفت چیزی نزد ما نیست» بگو پیراهنت را به من بده. آن پسر چنین کرد و پیامبر - که چیزی در نزدش نبود تا به او بدهد - پیراهنش را به او بخشید. آنگاه خدای متعال به وسیلةٌ این آیه» پیامبرش را متوجه میانه‌روی کرد که با تمام فضیلت و ارزش انفاق مبادا زیاده‌روی در بخشش, او را از زندگی معمولی‌اش باز دارد.!
