Most beloved of the Lord

(180) It is related by Imran bin Husain that the Apostle of God said: “The bondsman is the most beloved of the Lord who is poor and has a large family to support and yet remains pious and right-minded.”
-Ibn-i-Maja
Commentary.-One who keeps away from wrongful and prohibited actions in poverty and does not reveal his neediness to others is, indeed, a very brave man and a dearly beloved bondsman of the Lord.
Were they who are caught in indigence and destitution and are spending their days in poverty to seek succour and derive a lesson from these Traditions of the Prophet and remain patient and contented at the life of want and privation decreed for them by God, as He had preferred for His loved one, the Prophet, [Peace and Blessings of the Lord be upon whom], the torments of neediness and starvation would, really, become a source of happiness and tranquility to them.
