Verification of a Hadith

Q: Many years ago, I read a book in which a hadith was cited wherein a wealthy Sahabi (radi'Allahu anhu) uttered a criticism and complaint about the existence in the midst of other Sahaba (radi'Allahu anhum) who were poor and therefore perceived as being an unduly burden on the community. As I recall - and I ask Allah's forgivness if I am mistaken in my recollection - Nabi sal'Allahu alayhi wa sallam, did not take kindly to the attitude of the Sahabi (radi'Allahu anhu) and rebuked him by saying words to the effect that it was only because of the existence of such poor people, that Allah's Mercy reached the community of believers at all.

Please confirm:

1. Whether such a hadith exists; and if does,

2. Whether it is reliable and authentic, and

3. If it is, provide me with a copy of the Hadith in Arabic together with a parallel english language translation?

Sajda-e-shukr

Q: Kindly verify below. No references given

Benefits of Sajdatul Shukr

Sajdatul Shukr is like a treasure in this world and al ākhira. This information is worth gold, the benefits of doing Sajdatul Shukr. Most of us miss these benefits and we don't know how much it's worth. When we (as slaves of Allah) do Sajdatul Shukr, Allah opens the hijaab between us and the Angels . He says to the Angels, look at my slave, he did his fardh and obeyed my teachings and he did Sujuud to thank Me for what I've blessed him with. Oh My Angels what should he get? The Angels will reply, Ya Rabana give him Your mercy. Then Allah will ask again, and what else? The Angels will reply, Ya Rabana give him Your heaven. Then Allah will ask again, and what else? The Angels will reply, Ya Rabana make his worries end. Then Allah Taala will ask what else? Everytime Allah asks n what else, the Angels will reply, something good to be given or be done to the person who does Sajdatul Shukr. Lastly the Angels will reply, Ya Rabana we have no knowledge. Then Allah will say, ' I'll thank him the way he thanked Me, I'll give him My favour and show him My mercy'. What harm do we get if we do Sajdatul Shukr everyday? It's just a sajda and not a salaat and it's best when a person is clean, having țahara. Also it's best if you face alqibla. Anyone who gets a blessing, or something has been renewed or lost something he owns, it's best for him to do Sajdatul Shukr. You can do it with or without wudu'; you can face alqibla or not. But it's best with wudu' and facing the alqibla. I advice you to do Sajdatul Shukr after every salaat and say ' Shukr Lillah' 3 times or 'Alhamdulillah' 3 times. I advice you not to let this chance get away from you. Pls share with all your contacts; everytime they do this sujda you'll get reward (ajir). Even after you've died it'll be sadaqatul jariya. O Allah, make it sadaqatul jariya for me, my parents, my family, all those who'll share it and all Muslims. 

Verification of a Hadith

Q: I’ve often come across the question:

"In Jannah, more valuable than being in Jannah is to see Allah Ta’ala directly. Allah Ta’ala comes personally to visit that lady who wears niqaab in this world”.

I would like to know that is the authenticity of this question? ‎
