‘Abdullah bin Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that a man said to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): “O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, I love you.” The Prophet said: “Consider carefully what you are saying.” He again said: “By Allah, I love you.” The Prophet said: “Consider carefully what you are saying.” He again said: “By Allah, I love you.” He said this three times, so the Prophet said: “If you truly love me, then prepare yourself for poverty, for indeed poverty rushes towards the one who wishes to befriend me faster than a flood flows towards its destination.”
