Original Arabic
وعن عبد الله بن مغفل، رضي الله عنه، قال: قال رجل للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يارسول الله، والله إنى لأحبك، فقال: " انظر ماذ تقول؟" قال: والله إنى لأحبك، ثلاث مرات، فقال: " إن كنت تحبنى فأعد للفقر تجفافاً، فإن الفقر أسرع إلى من يحبنى من السيل إلى منتهاه" ((رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن)). 'التجفاف بكسر التاء المثناه فوق وإسكان الجيم وبالفاء المكررة، وهو شىء يلبسة الفرس، ليتقي به الأذى، وقد يلبسة الإنسان.'

'Abdullah bin Mughaffal (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, I love you." He (ﷺ) said, "Think about what you are saying." The man repeated thrice, "I swear by Allah that I love you." He (Prophet (ﷺ)) said, "If you love me, you should be ready for acute poverty; because poverty comes to those who love me, faster than a flood flowing towards its destination." [At-Tirmidhi, who classified it as Hadith Hasan].
