Sahih Muslim 1017d (Book 12, Hadith 91) #9490
The Prophet's Compassion for the Poor

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad saw the dismal state of people who were suffering from poverty and he was moved by their condition.

Jarir b. 'Abdullah reported: People came to to the Messenger of Allah and they ware dressed in woollen clothes. He (the Holy Prophet) saw their dismal state, as they were suffering from want and the rest of the hadith is the same.
وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ، يَزِيدَ وَأَبِي الضُّحَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ الْعَبْسِيِّ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ جَاءَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الأَعْرَابِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمُ الصُّوفُ فَرَأَى سُوءَ حَالِهِمْ ‏.‏ قَدْ أَصَابَتْهُمْ حَاجَةٌ ‏.‏ فَذَكَرَ بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِهِمْ
