Sayyiduna Wahshee Bin Harb رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has narrated from his grandfather that the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی عَـنْهُم humbly said to the Holy Nabi          صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, ‘Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! We eat food, yet we are not satiated [i.e. we feel as if we are hungry even after eating].’ The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘You may have eaten separately?’ They replied, ‘Yes.’ The Noble Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم then said, ‘Eat sitting together and recite بِسۡـمِ اللّٰه, there will be blessing in your food.’

Evil deeds are also the causes of poverty

Committing sins is one of the causes of poverty. Undoubtedly, committing evil deeds is a major cause of various difficulties and problems that a person faces from time to time, like poverty, unemployment and lack of blessing in sustenance. When a person disobeys Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and starts committing sins frequently, then he faces various problems besides poverty and unemployment. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has stated in Ayah 30 of Surah Ash-Shura, part 25:

وَ مَاۤ اَصَابَكُمْ مِّنْ مُّصِیْبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ اَیْدِیْكُمْ وَ یَعْفُوْا عَنْ كَثِیْرٍؕ(۳۰)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: And whatever calamity befalls you is because of what your hands have earned and there is a great deal that He pardons.

(Part 25, Surah Ash-Shura, Ayah 30)

Commenting on this Ayah, Mufti Sayyid Muhammad Na’eemuddin Muradabadi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated in (his Quranic Tafseer entitled) Khaza’in-ul-‘Irfan: It implies that the adversities and hardships that a believer suffers in this world are usually due to his misdeeds. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ makes these hardships expiation for his sins.
