The Hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the poor fornicator

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions that reached us is one from this questioner, who says he is Muhammad Ali from Yemen. He asks: Is there a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in which he says, "The fornicator will be afflicted with poverty, even if it is after a long time"?

Answer:
I am not aware of any basis for this. None of the scholars of hadith have narrated it, nor is it found in any of the known books of the Sunnah. However, sins and disobedience lead to bad outcomes, harms, and evil. How much more so is this the case with one of the major sins?
It was reported from Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to us and said, "O you who emigrated,
Five things, if you are afflicted with them—and I seek refuge in Allah that you should encounter them—and he mentioned among them: when immorality becomes widespread among a peopleخمس اذا ابتليتم بهن واعوذ بالله ان تدركوهن وذكر منها تظهر الفاحشه في قوم
to such an extent that they commit it openly, but plagues and diseases that were never known among the predecessors will spread among themقط حتى يعلنوا بها إلا فشا فيهم الطاعون والأوجاع التي لم تكن مضت في أسلافهم الذين مضوا
Sunan Ibn Majah 4019Sahih (Darussalam)
