حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَسْمًا ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَعْطِ فُلَانًا فَإِنَّهُ مُؤْمِنٌ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم : أَوْ مُسْلِمٌ ، أَقُولُهَا ثَلَاثًا ، وَيُرَدِّدُهَا عَلَيَّ ثَلَاثًا ، أَوْ مُسْلِمٌ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " إِنِّي لَأُعْطِي الرَّجُلَ وَغَيْرُهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُ ، مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَكُبَّهُ اللَّهُ فِي النَّارِ " .
Sa'd narrated it on the authority of his father (Abi Waqqas) that he observed: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) distributed shares (of booty among his Companions). I said: Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ) Give it to so and so, for verily he is a believer. Upon this the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) remarked: Or a Muslim. I (the narrator) repeated it (the word" believer") thrice and he (the Holy Prophet) turned his back upon me (and substituted the word)" Muslim," and then observed: I bestow it (this share) to a man out of apprehension lest Allah should throw him prostrate into the fire (of Hell) whereas in fact the other man is dearer to me than he.
