Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) 'Dua'~ Evils of Wealth & Poverty.

`Aishah  {May Allah be pleased with her} reported:-   The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) used to supplicate: 'Allahumma inni a`udhu bika  min fitnatin-nari, wa `adhabin-nari, wa min sharril-ghina wal-faqri'.   O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the trials and the torment of the Fire~  and from the evils of wealth and poverty. [Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi]   Commentary:-   'The evils of wealth' signify that one becomes so captivated by wealth that in his struggle to acquire it, he fails to discriminate between the lawful and the unlawful, or one may become proud and arrogant on account of his riches.   The evils of poverty that one loses hope of Allah's Mercy and Compassion, or shows resentment against his fate and the Will of Allah, or deviates from the principles and requirements of integrity and honesty.    My 'Salaams' To You All.                     Y a s m i n.                           "Never  Despair  Of  The  Mercy  Of  Allah"       "I Want to Die With my Forehead on the Ground, The Sunnah in my Heart, Allah on my Mind, Qur'an on my Tongue, and Tears in my Eyes!" Inshallah 'Aameen' ' Son of Adam! You are nothing but a number of days, whenever each day passes then part of you has Gone!   {Al-Hasan Al-Basree}
