Commentary
Allāh says in the Qur‘ān: ... And whosoever fears Allāh and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine... (65:2,3). As for the unexpected sources referred to in the Qur‘ānic Verse, it could be that one of his near relations passes away and he inherits his wealth or some person unknown to him bequeaths his wealth in his favor, and so on. On the contrary, the person who moans about his poverty before others and begs for assistance from them, his poverty, as mentioned in the foregoing Hadīth, is not remedied.
