Note 1

The family of Muhammad never ate their fill, etc.

(1) Her statement: "The family of Muhammad never ate their fill, etc.": His actions provide great consolation for the poor. This refutes those who claim he became wealthy at the end of his life. Yes, much wealth passed through his hands, but he did not keep it, spending it to please his Lord. His heart was always rich with reliance on Allah. (As stated in Al-Mirqat)

قوله

(۱) قوله: ما شبع آل محمد إلخ : ففي فعله و تسلية عظيمة للفقراء. وفيه رد على من قال صار في آخر عمره غنيا. نعم، وقع مال كثير في يده، لكنه ما أمسكه، بل صرفه في مرضاة ربه، وكان دائما غني القلب بغنى الرب. كذا في «المرقاة».
