4126. It was narrated that Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri said: "Love the poor, for I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say in his supplication: 'O Allāh, cause me to live poor and cause me to die poor, and gather me among the poor (on the Day of Resurrection).'" (Da'if)
4126 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ سِنَانٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَحِبُّوا الْمَسَاكِينَ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ فِي دُعَائِهِ: «اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مِسْكِينًا، وَأَمِتْنِي مِسْكِينًا، وَاحْشُرْنِي فِي زُمْرَةِ الْمَسَاكِينِ»

Poverty of the Prophet ﷺ, was intentional; despite having a great income from booty, Fai (i.e., booty gained without fighting) and Khums (one fifth of war booty), he used to live a simple life, and used to give all his wealth in charity and for the sake of Allāh. A person, despite being rich, may get the reward of poverty, if he does not love the money, gives it to poor, limits his necessities, and prefers a simple life.
