Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "So that some of you may take others as servants"

Question:
(peace and blessings be upon him) beyond His saying, Mighty and Majestic is He, "So that some of you may take others as servants."

Answer:
This means in terms of work, and He raised the ranks, meaning in terms of wealth; some are poor and some are rich, . This means that the merchant hires the poor person and pays him a wage, employing him in work. There is benefit for the merchant in fulfilling his need, and benefit for the poor person in receiving the wage. If all people were rich, work would be neglected. If all the people of Ta'if were rich millionaires, or whatever they are called, if they were all rich, who would want to build? Who would want to farm? Who would want to sew people's clothes? Who would want to...? Allah is Wise and Knowing, Glorified and Exalted is He. So He made some people poor and in need so that they would perform the work and give the wage; they benefit, and others benefit.
If Allah had made all people poor with no money, nothing would have been able to move. Allah is Wise and Knowing; He made wealth and poverty a balance in this universe. If all people were rich, work would not be neglected. If they were all poor, work would also be neglected. From whom would you hire? From whom would you give charity? From whom would you eat? Allah, Mighty and Majestic, made wealth and poverty for a clear wisdom; the wisdom is clear in this.
