[Machine] The Prophet of Allah, ﷺ , said to me, "O Bilal, die as a poor man and do not die as a rich man." I asked, "How can I do that?" He replied, "Whatever you are given, do not hoard it, and whatever you are asked for, do not withhold it." So I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, how can I do that?" He said, "Either you do that or face the fire of Hell."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Bilal, give in the cause of Allah as a poor person and do not give as a wealthy person." Bilal asked, "How can I do that, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "If you are blessed with wealth, do not hoard it, and if you are asked for help, do not refuse." Bilal asked, "And how can I do that, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Either do as I have instructed or face the fire of Hell."
