The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, asked for their participation and presence, in order to incur victory and sustenance because of their supplications
The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, used to seek out thepoor and wish that they were close to him and with him.
Abu Ad-Dardaa’ (a Companion) reported that the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said
“Seek out the weak and poor among you for me, because you will be granted sustenance and victory through the weak among you [by virtue of their supplication and sincerity]
Sa`d (a Companion) felt that he had a virtue over others who were below him
so the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said to him: “Will you be given victory and sustenance except through the weak among you?”
In another narration the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said
“Allah will give victory to this nation through the weak among them; He will give victory through their supplications, prayers, and sincerity.”
It means that the worship of the weak and destitute and their supplication has more sincerity, since their hearts are free from being attached to the adornments of the worldly life. They made their goals and desire one thing only, so their supplications are answered, and their actions are purified.
