ahmad:12790Muʾammal > Ḥammād > Thābit > Anas

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him for something, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave him a flock of sheep between two mountains. The man went back to his people and said, "O my people, embrace Islam, for by Allah, Muhammad gives a gift to a man who fears neither poverty nor need." Thabit narrated that Anas said, "If a man used to come to the Prophet ﷺ and embrace Islam, he would not leave until he acquired some worldly possession. And he would not sleep that night until his religion became more beloved to him or greater in his heart than the worldly possession and what it contains."  

أحمد:١٢٧٩٠حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَسْأَلُهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غَنَمًا بَيْنَ جَبَلَيْنِ فَأَتَى الرَّجُلُ قَوْمَهُ فَقَالَ أَيْ قَوْمِي أَسْلِمُوا فَوَاللهِ إِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا لَيُعْطِي عَطِيَّةَ رَجُلٍ مَا يَخَافُ الْفَاقَةَ أَوْ قَالَ الْفَقْرَ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ ثَابِتٌ قَالَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ إِنْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ لَيَأْتِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُسْلِمُ مَا يُرِيدُ إِلَّا أَنْ يُصِيبَ عَرَضًا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا أَوْ قَالَ دُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا فَمَا يُمْسِي مِنْ يَوْمِهِ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ دِينُهُأَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ أَوْ قَالَ أَكْبَرَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا
