It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave (wealth) to a group of people while Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting among them. He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) left out a man who was the most pleasing of them to me, so I said: "O Messenger of Allah! Why have you left out so-and-so? By Allah, I consider him a believer." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Or a Muslim." I remained silent for a little while, then what I knew about him overcame me, so I said again: "O Messenger of Allah! Why have you left out so-and-so? By Allah, I consider him a believer." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Or a Muslim." I again remained silent for a little while, then what I knew about him overcame me, so I said (a third time): "O Messenger of Allah! Why have you left out so-and-so? By Allah, I consider him a believer." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Or a Muslim. I give to a man while another is dearer to me than him, out of fear that he may (through weakness of faith) be thrown on his face into the Fire."
