Riyad as-Salihin, 533
Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He who suffers poverty and seeks relief from people, he will not be relieved; but he who seeks relief from Allah Alone, he will be relieved sooner or later." <b>[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi, who classified it as Hadith Hasan]</b>.
وعن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: "من أصابته فاقة فأنزلها بالناس لم تسد فاقته، ومن أنزلها بالله، فيوشك الله له برزق عاجل أو آجل" ((رواه أبو داود، والترمذي وقال: حديث حسن)) "يوشك" بكسر الشين: أي يسرع.

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) If a person gets attached to something, he is left to it and not helped. So, if someone accustoms himself to begging from people, he will have a hard and straitened life.<br>
2) We should hold onto the Prophet’s advice that we should patiently endure austere living. If a person complains to people about his Lord, he is actually complaining about the All-Merciful to those who have no mercy!
