Question:
(peace and blessings be upon him) and peace be upon the father. The questioner asks: What is the meaning of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) statement to Fatimah bint QaysSahih Muslim 1480a?
Answer:
The meaning is clear: he was poor. Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) was poor. He was poor at that time, and the woman was seeking financial maintenance, so marrying a poor man would be harmful to her. She was consulting the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes. If that is the case. Allah the Exalted knows best.
