Blessed are the Poor!

The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Blessed are the needy for their patience, and they are the ones who will see the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth.

The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘The poor will be the kings of the people of Heaven. All people long for Heaven, whereas Heaven itself longs for the poor.

The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘I gazed into Heaven, and I saw that most of its people were the poor.

The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Whoever dies and does not leave behind him a dirham or dinar, there is no person that will enter Heaven richer than him.

Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘The last of the Prophets to enter Heaven will be Solomon, because of what he was given in this world.

Imam al-Sadiq (AS), speaking to Muhammad al-Khazzaz, said, ‘Do you not go to the market? Do you not see the fruit that is sold, and the things that you desire? al-Khazzaz said, ‘Yes. He (AS) said, ‘For everything you see but you cannot [afford to] buy, you receive the reward of a good deed.
