Is it taken from the hadith that poverty is better than wealth in general?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it taken from the hadith that poverty is better than wealth in general?

The Shaykh : Yes, the scholars differ on this: is the patient poor person better, or the grateful rich person?

The questioner : No, not in general.

The Shaykh : Not in general, not in general. The one whom Allah makes independent of people is better.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : And what do you say?

The questioner : Because they submit to the truth.

The Shaykh : Yes, that is the general rule, because the rich person sees himself as independent of following the messengers, so he does not find guidance.
