He was asked, "Why are they called al-fuqara' (the poor)?" He said,
"Because they are poor, but they don't need to supplicate. Just as the Prophet Ibrahim a.s., when he was thrown into the fire and Jibril came and asked him 'Do you need any help?,' replied, 'I have no need to ask, He is well aware of my state.'"
He said, "Poverty is a sign of annihilation and the erasure of the attributes of existence."
He said one time,
"Who is the poor one?" No one answered him. He said, "The poor one is the one whose inside is always in struggle and whose external is always at peace."
