Pearl of Wisdom
?O people! Satisfaction and discontentment are what gather people [in categories]. And although it was only one man who slaughtered the she-camel of Thamud, Allah included all of them in the punishment because they all accepted his action, as He Almighty said, ' But they hamstrung her, whereupon they became regretful. ? So, it was not long before their land declined by sinking [into the earth] as the spike of a plough pierces weak, unploughed land.'
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] Nahj al-Baldgha, Sermon 201

Sermon 230 `Abdullah ibn Zama`ah who was one of the followers of Amir al-mu'minin came to him during his Caliphate to ask for some money when Amir al-mu'minin said:
This money is not for me nor for you, but it is the collective property of the Muslims and the acquisition of their swords. If you had taken part with them in their fighting you would have a share equal to theirs, otherwise the earning of their hands cannot be for other than their mouths.
