Sunan Abi Dawud 1645 (Book 9, Hadith 90) #21937
Relying on Allah in Times of Poverty

SUMMARY: Referring to Allah in times of poverty will bring sufficiency, either through a speedy death or by a sufficiency which comes later.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: The Prophet said: If one who is afflicted with poverty refers it to me, his poverty will not be brought to an end; but if one refers it to Allah, He will soon give him sufficiency, either by a speedy death or by a sufficiency which comes later.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، ح حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ أَبُو مَرْوَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، - وَهَذَا حَدِيثُهُ - عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ سَلْمَانَ، عَنْ سَيَّارٍ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ طَارِقٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ أَصَابَتْهُ فَاقَةٌ فَأَنْزَلَهَا بِالنَّاسِ لَمْ تُسَدَّ فَاقَتُهُ وَمَنْ أَنْزَلَهَا بِاللَّهِ أَوْشَكَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِالْغِنَى إِمَّا بِمَوْتٍ عَاجِلٍ أَوْ غِنًى عَاجِلٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about relying on Allah during times of poverty. It teaches us that when we are faced with poverty, we should turn to Allah and ask for His help. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that if one refers their poverty to Him, He will soon give them sufficiency either through a speedy death or by a sufficiency which comes later. This means that even if the person does not receive immediate relief from their financial hardship, they can still be assured that they will eventually be provided with enough money to sustain themselves and their family. This hadith also teaches us the importance of having faith in God and trusting Him during difficult times as He is always there for us no matter what our situation may be.
