حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ , حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ , حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَاتِكَةِ , عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ الْمُحَارِبِيِّ , عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْمَلَاحِمُ , بَعَثَ اللَّهُ بَعْثًا مِنَ الْمَوَالِي هُمْ أَكْرَمُ الْعَرَبِ فَرَسًا , وَأَجْوَدُهُ سِلَاحًا , يُؤَيِّدُ اللَّهُ بِهِمُ الدِّينَ " .

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
(1)
Those people who are Muslims generation after generation, in their future generations the love for Islam and the effort to practice it tends to decrease. In contrast, those non-Muslims who accept Islam do so by recognizing its goodness and believing in it wholeheartedly; therefore, they also possess a greater spirit of sacrifice for Islam.

(2)
Just as Muslims are preached to practice Islam, it is also necessary—and even more beneficial—to preach to non-Muslims to enter into Islam.
