´Abu Hatim Al-Muzani narrated that:` The Messenger of Allah said: "When someone whose religion and character you are pleased with comes to you then marry (her to) him. If you do not do so, then there will be turmoil (Fitnah) in the land and discord (Fasad). If you do not do so, then there will be turmoil (Fitnah) in the land and discord (Fasad)." They said: "O Messenger of Allah! What if there was something about him?" He said: "When someone whose religion and character you are pleased with comes to you then marry him." (And he (pbuh) said this) three times.

Explanation:
1:
The meaning is that if you marry only a person who possesses wealth or status, then many men will remain without wives and many women will remain without husbands, which will lead to the spread of adultery and immorality. The guardian (wali) will face shame and disgrace, which will become a cause for the outbreak of tribulation and corruption.
