Silsilah Sahihah

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Taghlib (may Allah be pleased with him) that some wealth or captives were brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He distributed them, giving to some people and not giving to others. When it reached him that those whom he (peace and blessings be upon him) had not given expressed displeasure, he praised and glorified Allah and said: "As for what follows, by Allah! I give to some and do not give to others. Those whom I leave out (and do not give any wealth, etc.) are more beloved to me than those to whom I give. (Remember) I only give to them because I see anxiety and restlessness in their hearts, and I entrust the others to the richness and goodness that Allah has placed in their hearts. Among those people is Amr bin Taghlib." Amr bin Taghlib says: By Allah! I would not prefer to have red camels in exchange for the statement of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about me.
