وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «فَوَاللَّهِ لَا الْفَقْرُ أَخْشَى عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَكِنْ أَخْشَى عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تُبْسَطَ عَلَيْكُمُ الدُّنْيَا كَمَا بُسِطَتْ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَتَنَافَسُوهَا كَمَا تَنَافَسُوهَا وتهلككم كَمَا أهلكتهم» . مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ
Amr ibn Awf Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "By Allah, I do not fear poverty overtaking you. But, I fear for your that the world would be spread out for you as it was for those before you and you would contend with each other over it as they had done and would be ruined as they were ruined."
