5091. Narrated Sahl: A man passed by Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and Allāh's Messenger ﷺ asked (his companions), "What do you say about this (man)?" They replied, "If he asks for a lady's hand, he ought to be given her in marriage; and if he intercedes (for someone), his intercession will be accepted; and if he speaks, he will be listened to". Allāh's Messenger ﷺ kept silent, and then another man from among the poor Muslims passed by, and Allāh's Messenger ﷺ asked (them), "What do you say about this man?" They replied, "If he asks for a lady's hand in marriage, no one will accept him, and if he intercedes (for someone), his intercession will not be accepted; and if he speaks, he will not be listened to." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "This poor man is better than so many of the first as to fill the earth." (See Hadīth No. 6447, Vol 8).

5091 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سَهْلٍ، قَالَ: مَرَّ رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي هَذَا؟» قَالُوا: حَرِيٌّ إِنْ خَطَبَ أَنْ يُنْكَحَ، وَإِنْ شَفَعَ أَنْ يُشَفَّعَ، وَإِنْ قَالَ أَنْ يُسْتَمَعَ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ سَكَتَ، فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْ فُقَرَاءِ المُسْلِمِينَ، فَقَالَ: «مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي هَذَا؟» قَالُوا: حَرِيٌّ إِنْ خَطَبَ أَنْ لاَ يُنْكَحَ، وَإِنْ شَفَعَ أَنْ لاَ يُشَفَّعَ، وَإِنْ قَالَ أَنْ لاَ يُسْتَمَعَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هَذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ مِلْءِ الأَرْضِ مِثْلَ هَذَا»
