Sayyidina Anas (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) prayed: (O Allah, cause me to live among the poor and to die among them, and on the day of resurrection, gather me among the group of the poor. Sayyidah Ayshah (RA) asked, “Why, O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “They will enter Paradise, preceding their rich by forty years. O Ayshah, do not turn away the poor even if you give her half a date. O Ayshah, love the poor and draw them near, Allah will draw you near on the day of resurrection.”
