Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said,

The poor will enter paradise before the rich. “ after a pause he added, “ O Aisha, Never turn a needy person away from your door. Give him something, though it may be only a piece of date. Respect the poor and love them in spite of their poverty. If you bring the poor and needy closer to you, Allah will bring you closer to himself.

( Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1376 )
