Sahih Muslim Hadith<br />

Hadith 4011<br />

Aisha<br />

Narrated by<br />

Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) left neither dinar nor dirham (wealth in the form of cash), nor goats (and sheep), nor<br />

camels. And he made no will about anything (in regard to his material possessions, as he had none).<br />

POVERTY:<br />

2:268 - The Evil One threatens you with poverty and bids you to conduct unseemly. Allah<br />

promiseth you His forgiveness and bounties and Allah careth for all and He knoweth all things.<br />

318<br />

318 Good and evil draw us opposite ways and by opposite motives, and the contrast is well marked out in charity. When<br />

we think of doing some real act of kindness or charity, we are assailed with doubts and fear of impoverishment; but<br />

Evil supports any tendency to selfishness, greed, or even to extravagant expenditure for show, or self-indulgence, or<br />

unseemly appetites. On the other hand, God draws us on to all that is kind and good, for that way lies the forgiveness<br />

of our sins, and greater real prosperity and satisfaction. No kind or generous act ever ruined anyone. It is false<br />

generosity that is sometimes shown as leading to ruin. As God knows all our motives and cares for all, and has<br />

everything in His power, it is obvious which course a wise man will choose. But wisdom is rare, and it is only wisdom<br />

that can appreciate true well-being and distinguish it from the false appearance of well-being. (2.268)<br />

9:28 - O ye who believe! truly the pagans are unclean; so let them not after this year of theirs<br />

approach the Sacred Mosque. And if ye fear poverty soon will Allah enrich you if He wills out<br />

of his bounty for Allah is All-Knowing All-Wise. 127812791280<br />

1278 Unclean: because Muslims are enjoined to be strict in cleanliness, as well as in purity of mind and heart, so that their<br />

word can be relied upon. (9.28)<br />

1279 This year of theirs: there is a two-fold meaning: (1) now that you have complete control of Makkah and are, charged<br />

with the purity of worship there, shut out all impurity from this year: (2) you have seen how the Pagans have behaved<br />

this year; their year of power and misuse of that power may be called their year; it is over, and now you Muslims are<br />

responsible. (9.28)<br />

1280 The concourse in Makkah added to the profits of trade and commerce. "But fear not," we are told: "the Pagans are a<br />

waning power, bound to disappear, and you should strengthen your own community, that they may more than<br />

counter-balance the apparent loss of custom; and Allah has other means of improving your economic position." This<br />

actually happened. The Pagans were extinguished from Arabia, and the concourse of pilgrims from all parts of the<br />

world increased the numbers more than a hundred-fold. Here is commonsense, wisdom, and statesmanship, even if<br />

we look at it from a purely human point of view. (9.28)<br />

Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 3.60<br />

The amount of zakah given to a poor person<br />

Zakah aims at supporting the poor by satisfying their needs. A specified amount is therefore given to them on a continuous<br />

basis to alleviate their state of poverty……<br />

Hadith 5172<br />

AbuHurayrah<br />

Narrated by<br />

Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) told that Allah said, "Son of Adam, if you devote your heart to unpreoccupied worship<br />

of me I shall fill your breast with sufficiency and make your poverty cease; but if you do not do so I shall fill your hand with<br />

work and not make your poverty cease."<br />

Ahmad and Ibn Majah transmitted it.<br />
