The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) quoted God as saying: "Truly of those devoted to Me, the one I most favor is a believer who is of meager means and much given to prayer, who has been particular in the worship of his Lord and has obeyed Him inwardly, who was obscure among people and not pointed out, and whose sustenance was just sufficient to provide for him, yet he bore this patiently."
