Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 8473 — Sayyiduna Abdullah said: How excellent
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ السَّدُوسِيُّ، ثنا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ثنا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بَذِيمَةَ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ حَبْتَرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: " يَا حَبَّذَا الْمَكْرُوهَانِ: الْمَوْتُ وَالْفَقْرُ، وَايْمُ اللهِ أَلَا إِنَّ الْغِنَى وَالْفَقْرَ وَمَا أُبَالِي بِأَيِّهِمَا ابْتُلِيتُ، إِنْ كَانَ الْغِنَى إِنَّ فِيهِ لِلْعَطْفِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ الْفَقْرُ إِنَّ فِيهِ لِلصَّبْرِ "
Qays bin Habtar (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "How excellent are the two disliked things: death and poverty. By Allah, I do not care whether I am tested with wealth or with poverty. If it is wealth, there is kindness and compassion in it, and if it is poverty, there is patience in it."
