[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, a man comes to me wanting my wealth." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Remind him of Allah." The man asked, "What if he doesn't listen?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Seek the help of those around you who are Muslims." The man asked, "What if there is no one around me?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Seek the help of the ruler."

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet and said, "What do you think if a man comes to take my wealth?" The Prophet said, "Remind him of Allah."
