Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My Shaykh, regarding the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn Mughaffal, when he said, "I love you, O Messenger of Allah," he said to him
Look at what you are saying ... انظر فيما تقول ...


The Shaykh : What did he say to the Messenger?

The questioner : He said to him, "I love you, O Messenger of Allah," and he said to him
Do you love me? أنت تحبّني
or as he said in the hadith
Return to poverty with dryness أعد للفقر تجفافا
Is that the hadith?

The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.

The questioner : You mentioned this hadith in *Riyad al-Saliheen* ... so is it authentic, is that the understanding derived from it?

The Shaykh : ... .

The questioner : There is a new book on *Riyad al-Saliheen* verified by some young scholars, and they state that the text of this hadith is not authentic. Is their statement correct?

The Shaykh : What is the evidence that the text is not authentic?

The questioner : He said that there are many proofs regarding wealth
Good is honest property 2 for an honest man. نعم المال الصالح للرجل الصالح
Mishkat al-Masabih 3756
and some things like these types?

The Shaykh : This does not invalidate the hadith by that. For example, the hadith
O Allah, make the provision of the family of Muhammad just sufficient اللهم اجعل رزق آل محمّد كفافا
Sahih Ibn Hibban 62:207
does this contradict the other hadith he said
Good is the righteous wealth with the righteous man نعم المال الصالح عند الرجل الصالح
? It does not contradict, meaning poverty has its people, wealth has its people, and the middle between these two has its people. The believer is the one who prepares himself for patience with everything he may be tested with.
