وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: " إِنِّي أُحِبُّكَ. قَالَ: «انْظُرْ مَا تَقُولُ» . فَقَالَ: وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ. قَالَ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ صَادِقًا فَأَعِدَّ لِلْفَقْرِ تِجْفَافًا لَلْفَقْرُ أسرعُ إِلى من يحبُّني من السَّيْل إِلَى مُنْتَهَاهُ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ
'Abdullah bin Mughaffal Narrated from:
A man came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and submitted, "I love you." He said, "think over what you say." He maintained. By Allah, I do love you," asserting it three times. He said, "If you speak the truth then be prepared with an armour to face poverty for, poverty comes faster to one who loves me than flood that rushes to its outlet." [1]
