عن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «من أصابته فَاقَة فأنْزَلها بالناس لم تُسَدَّ فَاقَتُهُ، ومن أنْزَلها بالله، فَيُوشِكُ الله له بِرزق عاجل أو آجل».
Kutoka kwa bin Mas'udi -Radhi za Mwenyezi Mungu ziwe juu yake- Amesema: Amesema Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu -Rehema na Amani ziwe juu yake-: "Atakayepatwa na umasikini akaushusha kwa watu hautozibwa umasikini wake, na atakayeushusha kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, basi ni karibu zaidi Mwenyezi Mungu kumpa riziki ya haraka au ya baadaye".
Ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He who is inflicted with poverty and seeks relief from people, he will not be relieved; whereras he who seeks relief from Allah, he will be given sustenance from Allah sooner or later."
