Sahih Muslim Book - 12, Hadith - 2433

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِىٍّ الْحُلْوَانِىُّ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِى عَنْ صَالِحٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَنِى عَامِرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّهُ أَعْطَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- رَهْطًا وَأَنَا جَالِسٌ فِيهِمْ قَالَ فَتَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- مِنْهُمْ رَجُلاً لَمْ يُعْطِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْجَبُهُمْ إِلَىَّ فَقُمْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَسَارَرْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَكَ عَنْ فُلاَنٍ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّى لأَرَاهُ مُؤْمِنًا. قَالَ « أَوْ مُسْلِمًا ». فَسَكَتُّ قَلِيلاً ثُمَّ غَلَبَنِى مَا أَعْلَمُ مِنْهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَكَ عَنْ فُلاَنٍ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّى لأَرَاهُ مُؤْمِنًا. قَالَ « أَوْ مُسْلِمًا ». فَسَكَتُّ قَلِيلاً ثُمَّ غَلَبَنِى مَا أَعْلَمُ مِنْهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَكَ عَنْ فُلاَنٍ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّى لأَرَاهُ مُؤْمِنًا. قَالَ « أَوْ مُسْلِمًا ». قَالَ « إِنِّى لأُعْطِى الرَّجُلَ وَغَيْرُهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْهُ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يُكَبَّ فِى النَّارِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ ». وَفِى حَدِيثِ الْحُلْوَانِىِّ تَكْرَارُ الْقَوْلِ مَرَّتَيْنِ.

It was narrated from Sad: “The Messenger of Allah (SAW) gave something to a group of people among whom I was sitting, and the Messenger of Allah (SAW) left out one man without giving him anything, and he was the best of them in my view. I went to the Messenger of Allah (SAW) and whispered to him: ‘O Messenger of Allah (SAW), what about so-and so? By Allah I think that he is a believer. ’He said: ‘Or a Muslim.’ I remained silent for a while, then what I knew of him got better of me, and I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah (SAW), what about so-and so? By Allah I think that he is a believer. ’ He said: ‘Or a Muslim.’ I remained silent for a while, then what I knew of him got better of me, and I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah (SAW), what about so-and so? By Allah I think that he is a believer. ’He said: ‘Or a Muslim.’ He said: ‘I may give something to a man although someone else is dearer to me than him, lest he be thrown into the Fire on his face.’’” In the Hadith of Al-Hulwani, the words are repeated twice.
