Musnad Abi Ya'la 3750 — At times a man would come to the Messenger
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : إِنْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ لَيَأْتِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُسْلِمُ لِلشَّيْءِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا ، لَا يُسْلِمُ إِلَّا لَهُ ، فَمَا يُمْسِي حَتَّى يَكُونَ الْإِسْلَامُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): "At times a man would come to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and accept Islam merely for the sake of some worldly gain, his accepting Islam having no purpose other than that; yet evening would not have come before Islam became dearer to him than the world and all that is in it."
