Hadith 10847

عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ {خُذْ عَلَيْكَ ثِيَابَكَ وَسِلَاحَكَ ثُمَّ ائْتِنِي} فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَصَعَّدَ فِيَّ النَّظَرَ ثُمَّ طَأْطَأَهُ فَقَالَ {إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَبْعَثَكَ عَلَى جَيْشٍ فَيُسَلِّمَكَ اللَّهُ وَيُغْنِمَكَ وَأَرْغَبُ لَكَ مِنَ الْمَالِ رَغْبَةً صَالِحَةً} قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَسْلَمْتُ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْمَالِ وَلَكِنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ رَغْبَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَأَنْ أَكُونَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ {يَا عَمْرُو نِعْمَ الْمَالُ الصَّالِحُ لِلْمَرْءِ الصَّالِحِ}
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a message to me saying, "Come to me with your clothes and weapons." When I reached the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he was performing ablution. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his gaze towards me and then lowered it, and then said: "I intend to appoint you as the commander over an army. Allah will protect you and grant you spoils of war. And I desire good for you regarding wealth." I said, "O Messenger of Allah! I did not become a Muslim to acquire wealth and riches. I became a Muslim solely out of desire for Islam. And my wish is to remain with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Good wealth is better for a righteous man."
