Hadith 12050

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَأْتِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَيُسْلِمُ لِشَيْءٍ يُعْطَاهُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا ، فَلَا يُمْسِي حَتَّى يَكُونَ الْإِسْلَامُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ وَأَعَزَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that sometimes a person would come to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and accept Islam, thinking that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would grant him worldly wealth and riches, but by evening Islam would become more beloved and honorable to him than the world and all that is in it.
