While I was sitting with Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) two persons came to him; one of them complained about his poverty and the other complained about the prevalence of robberies. Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "As regards stealing and robberies, there will shortly come a time when a caravan will go to Makka (from Al-Madîna) without any guard. And regarding poverty, The Hour (Day of Judgement) will not be established till one of you wanders about with his object of charity and will not find anybody to accept it. And (no doubt) each one of you will stand in front of Allâh and there will be neither a screen nor an interpreter between him and Allâh and Allâh will ask him, 'Did not I give you wealth? ' He will reply in the affirmative. Allâh will further ask, 'Didn't I send a Messenger (ﷺ) to you? ' And again that person will reply in the affirmative. Then he will look to his right and he will see nothing but Hell-fire, and then he will look to his left and will see nothing but Hell-fire. So let each one of you save himself from the Hell-fire, even by giving half of a date-fruit (in charity). And if you do not find a half date-fruit, then (you can do it through saying) a good pleasant word (to your Muslim brother). [2:494-O.B.]
