Musnad Abi Ya'la 3302 — a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ غَنَمًا بَيْنَ جَبَلَيْنِ ، فَأَتَى الرَّجُلُ قَوْمَهُ ، فَقَالَ : أَيْ قَوْمِ أَسْلِمُوا ، فَوَاللهِ إِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا يُعْطِي عَطَاءَ رَجُلٍ مَا يَخَافُ فَاقَةً . وَإِنْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ لَيَأْتِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، مَا يُرِيدُ إِلَّا دُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا ، فَمَا يُمْسِي حَتَّى يَكُونَ دِينُهُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him (for something), so he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him a flock of goats filling the area between two mountains. Then the man returned to his people and said: "O my people, accept Islam, for by Allah, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) gives like one who has no fear of poverty and want." And the situation was that a man would come to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) seeking nothing but worldly gain, yet before evening came, the religion would become dearer to him than the world and everything in it.
