Anas narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:
O Allah! Cause me to live needy, and cause me to die needy and gather me in the group of the needy on the Day of Resurrection. 'Aishah said: Why O Messenger of Allah? He said: Indeed they enter Paradise before their rich by forty autumns. O 'Aishah! Do not turn away the needy even if with a piece of date. O 'Aishah! Love the needy and be near them, for indeed Allah will make you near on the Day of Judgement.
