The Holy Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) once asked his companions (Radi Allahu Anhum Ajma'een), "Do you know as to who a destitute person is?" They replied, "Ya RasoolAllah (SallAllahu Alayka wa Sallam) the one who does not have wealth is a destitute."
He (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said, "The destitute in my Ummah is the one who will be brought on the Judgement Day with Salah, fasts and charity (in his book of deeds) but would have abused and accused someone, he would have taken wealth unlawfully and shed blood (or) beaten someone and as a result of these sins, his good deeds will be taken from him. If he runs out of good deeds and there are still claimants (against him), he would have to take the sins of the oppressed (people) and would resultantly be thrown into Hell."
[Sahih Muslim, Page 1394, Hadith 2581]
