The aforementioned Hadith is very weak and not authentic. It was narrated by Al-Tabarani with the wording: "Indeed, among My believing servants are those whom nothing but wealth will reform, and were he to become poor, that would corrupt him..." Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali clarified that its narrators are weak or unknown, and others have also ruled it to be inauthentic and very weak.
