The Prophet (May peace be upon him) gave some people and did not give anything to a man of them. Sa’d said : Messenger of Allah! You gave so and so, so and so, but did not give anything to so and so while he is a believer. The Prophet (May peace be upon him) said : Or he is a Muslim. Sa’d repeated it thrice and the Prophet (May peace be upon him) then said : I give some people and leave him who is dearer to me than them. I do not give him anything fearing lest he should fall into Hell on his face.

أَعْطَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رِجَالاً وَلَمْ يُعْطِ رَجُلاً مِنْهُمْ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعْطَيْتَ فُلاَنًا وَفُلاَنًا وَلَمْ تُعْطِ فُلاَنًا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَوْ مُسْلِمٌ حَتَّى أَعَادَهَا سَعْدٌ ثَلاَثًا وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقُولُ أَوْ مُسْلِمٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنِّي أُعْطِي رِجَالاً وَأَدَعُ مَنْ هُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْهُمْ لاَ أُعْطِيهِ شَيْئًا مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُكَبُّوا فِي النَّارِ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ

أَعْطَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رِجَالًا وَلَمْ يُعْطِ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ أَعْطَيْتَ فُلانًا وَفُلانًا وَلَمْ تُعْطِ فُلانًا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَوْ مُسْلِمٌ حَتَّى أَعَادَهَا سَعْدٌ ثَلاثًا وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقُولُ أَوْ مُسْلِمٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنِّي لأعْطِي رِجَالًا وَأَدَعُ مَنْ هُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُمْ فَلا أُعْطِيهِ شَيْئًا مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُكَبُّوا فِي النَّارِ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ gave to some men but did not give anything to another man from them, so I said, "O Messenger of Allah, you gave so-and-so and so-and-so but did not give anything to so-and-so, who is also a believer." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Or a Muslim." He said this three times. Al-Zuhri said, "We believe that Islam is the statement (of faith) and faith is the action."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَعْطَى رِجَالًا وَلَمْ يُعْطِ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعْطَيْتَ فُلَانًا وَفُلَانًا وَلَمْ تُعْطِ فُلَانًا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَوْ مُسْلِمٌ» قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ نَرَى أَنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ الْكَلِمَةُ وَالْإِيمَانَ الْعَمَلُ

أَعْطَى رِجَالًا وَلَمْ يُعْطِ رَجُلًا فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعْطَيْتَ فُلَانًا وَفُلَانًا وَتَرَكْتَ فُلَانًا لَمْ تُعْطِهِ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوَمُسْلِمٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي أُعْطِي رِجَالًا وَأَدَعُ مَنْ هُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُمْ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُكَبُّوا فِي النَّارِ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ وَهَذَا الْكَلَامُ رُوِيَ عَنْ سَعْدٍ وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ تَغْلِبَ وَعَنْ غَيْرِهِمَا وَحَدِيثُ سَعْدٍ إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيحٌ فَاقْتَصَرْنَا عَلَيْهِ
