حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَامِرُ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْطَى رَهْطًا وَسَعْدٌ جَالِسٌ فِيهِمْ قَالَ سَعْدٌ فَتَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ لَمْ يُعْطِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْجَبُهُمْ إِلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَكَ عَنْ فُلَانٍ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَاهُ مُؤْمِنًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ مُسْلِمًا قَالَ فَسَكَتُّ قَلِيلًا ثُمَّ غَلَبَنِي مَا أَعْلَمُ مِنْهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَكَ عَنْ فُلَانٍ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَاهُ مُؤْمِنًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ مُسْلِمًا قَالَ فَسَكَتُّ قَلِيلًا ثُمَّ غَلَبَنِي مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَكَ عَنْ فُلَانٍ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَاهُ مُؤْمِنًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ مُسْلِمًا إِنِّي لَأُعْطِي الرَّجُلَ وَغَيْرُهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يُكَبَّ فِي النَّارِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ.
'Amir bin Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas narrated from his father Sa'd that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) distributed (some wealth) to some people, and Sa'd was sitting among them. Sa'd said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) left out some of them and did not give them anything, although they were better (more deserving) in my view. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what about so-and-so? For by Allah, I think he is a believer.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Or a Muslim.' I kept quiet for a while, then what I knew got the better of me and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what about so-and-so? For by Allah, I think that he is a believer.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Or a Muslim.' I kept quiet for a while, then what I knew got the better of me and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what about so-and-so? For by Allah, I think that he is a believer.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Or a Muslim. I may give to one man although someone else is more beloved to me, for fear lest he be thrown on his face into the Fire."'
