4683. It was narrated from Muḥammad bin Thawr, from Ma'mar, he said: "Az-Zuhri informed me, from 'Āmir bin Sa'd bin Abi Waqqāṣ, from his father, who said: 'The Prophet ﷺ gave something to some men, and he did not give anything to one of them.' Sa'd said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, you gave to so-and-so and so-and-so, and you did not give anything to so-and-so, and he is a believer.' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Or a Muslim," until Sa'd had repeated it three times, and the Prophet ﷺ said: "Or a Muslim." Then the Prophet ﷺ said: "I may give to some men and not to one who is dearer to me than them, lest they be thrown into the Fire on their faces." (Sahih)

4683 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ ثَوْرٍ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: أَعْطَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رِجَالًا وَلَمْ يُعْطِ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ شَيْئًا، فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَعْطَيْتَ فُلَانًا وَفُلَانًا وَلَمْ تُعْطِ فُلَانًا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَوْ مُسْلِمٌ» حَتَّى أَعَادَهَا سَعْدٌ ثَلَاثًا وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «أَوْ مُسْلِمٌ» ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنِّي أُعْطِي رِجَالًا وَأَدَعُ مَنْ هُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُمْ لَا أُعْطِيهِ شَيْئًا مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُكَبُّوا فِي النَّارِ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ»

Commentary

Meaning, someone may have merely submitted and be called a Muslim, but it does not warrant that such person has the faith of a Mu'min or believer. This is similarly explained in the following narration.
