Abu Dharr reported,

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Abu Dharr, do you think that abundance of wealth is true richness?"I said, "Yes, Messenger of Allah."He said, "And do you think that scarcity of wealth is true poverty?"I said, "Yes, Messenger of Allah."He said, "True richness is the richness of the heart, and true poverty is the poverty of the heart."Then he asked me about a man from Quraysh, saying, "Do you know so-and-so?"I said, "Yes, Messenger of Allah."He said, "How do you regard him?"I said, "When he asks, he is given. When he attends, he is admitted."Then he asked me about a man from the people of the Suffah, saying, "Do you know so-and-so?"I said, "No, by Allah, I do not know him, Messenger of Allah."He kept describing him and listing his features until I recognized him, and I said, "I know him now, Messenger of Allah."He said, "How do you regard him?"I said, "He is a poor man, one of the people of the Suffah."He said, "He is better than an earth's fill of the other."I said, "Messenger of Allah, should he not then be given some of what the other is given?"He said, "If he is granted good, he is worthy of it. And if it is withheld from him, he has already been granted a good deed."

عن أبي ذر قال

قال رسول الله ﷺ: يا أبا ذر، أترى كثرة المال هو الغنى؟ قلت: نعم يا رسول الله، قال: فترى قلة المال هو الفقر؟ قلت: نعم يا رسول الله، قال: إنما الغنى غنى القلب، والفقر فقر القلب. ثم سألني عن رجل من قريش، فقال: هل تعرف فلانا؟ قلت: نعم يا رسول الله، قال: فكيف تراه وتراه؟ قلت: إذا سأل أعطي، وإذا حضر أدخل. ثم سألني عن رجل من أهل الصفة فقال: هل تعرف فلانا؟ قلت: لا والله ما أعرفه يا رسول الله، قال: فما زال يحليه وينعته حتى عرفته، فقلت: قد عرفته يا رسول الله، قال: فكيف تراه أو تراه؟ قلت: رجل مسكين من أهل الصفة، فقال: هو خير من طلاع الأرض من الآخر. قلت: يا رسول الله، أفلا يعطى من بعض ما يعطى الآخر؟ فقال: إذا أعطي خيرا فهو أهله، وإن صرف عنه فقد أعطي حسنة.
