Throughout the lifetime of the Imam we witnessed that he did not add anything to his wealth. Only a small property that he inherited from his father that was agricultural land and he spent the income derived from it for his expenditures.
Piety of a man of religion from the viewpoint of the Imam did not mean that the man of religion wear worn-out clothes and be ashamed or that signs of mendicancy be apparent from his attire. The Imam believed that at the same time that the man of religion wears appropriate clothing; he must also prepare his heart and would say that the development and flourishing of the heart is through the medium of spirituality and devotion to God.
He did not add anything to his wealth: Ayatullah Ja‘far Subhani: Mirror of Virtue, p. 108.
