Sayyidina Abdullah ibn Muhghaffal reported that a man said to the Prophet (SAW) “O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, I love you.” He said, “Think over what you say.., He said, “By Allah, I do love you.” He said that three times. He said, “If you love me then be prepared for poverty as your armour, for, poverty comes running to one who loves me more swiftly than the flood that flows down to its outlet.”
