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.‏‏'

English translation

'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].
