It is reported from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) faced some hardship. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came to know of it, and he went out looking for work so that he could bring something to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He came to the garden of a Jew and drew seventeen buckets of water for him, with a date for each bucket. The Jew gave him seventeen Ajwah dates, and he brought them to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu al-Hasan, where have you brought these from?" He said: I learned that you were in hardship, O Prophet of Allah, so I went out and looked for work so that I could bring food for you (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Was it the love of Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that moved you to this?" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever loves Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), poverty comes to him faster than a flowing flood. Whoever loves Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), let him prepare himself for hardship (that is, patience)."
