Hadith 299
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ‏:‏ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ‏:‏ سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ قَالَ‏:‏ بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ آخُذَ عَلَيَّ ثِيَابِي وَسِلاَحِي، ثُمَّ آتِيهِ، فَفَعَلْتُ فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ يَتَوَضَّأُ، فَصَعَّدَ إِلَيَّ الْبَصَرَ ثُمَّ طَأْطَأَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ‏:‏ ”يَا عَمْرُو، إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَبْعَثَكَ عَلَى جَيْشٍ فَيُغْنِمُكَ اللَّهُ، وَأَرْغَبُ لَكَ رَغْبَةً مِنَ الْمَالِ صَالِحَةً“، قُلْتُ‏:‏ إِنِّي لَمْ أُسْلِمْ رَغْبَةً فِي الْمَالِ، إِنَّمَا أَسْلَمْتُ رَغْبَةً فِي الإِسْلاَمِ فَأَكُونُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ‏:‏ ”يَا عَمْرُو، نِعْمَ الْمَالُ الصَّالِحِ لِلْمَرْءِ الصَّالِحِ‏.‏“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ordered me to come to him wearing battle dress and armed. So I did as he instructed. When I reached the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he was performing ablution. He looked up at me and then lowered his head. Then he said: "O Amr! I wish to appoint you as the commander of an army and Allah will grant you spoils of war. I desire good wealth for you." I said: I did not accept Islam for the sake of wealth. I accepted Islam only out of desire for the religion of Islam so that I may be with the Messenger of Allah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "O Amr! Good wealth is a good thing for a righteous man."
