[379] 237 - (...) 'Āmir bin Sa'd bin Abī Waqqās narrated from his father Sa'd that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ distributed (some wealth) to some people, and Sa'd was sitting among them. Sa'd said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ left out some of them and did not give them anything, although they were better (more deserving) in my view. I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, what about so-and-so? For by Allāh, I think he is a believer.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Or a Muslim.' I kept quiet for a while, then what I knew got the better of me and I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, what about so-and-so? For by Allāh, I think that he is a believer.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Or a Muslim.' I kept quiet for a while, then what I knew got the better of me and I said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, what about so-and-so? For by Allâh, I think that he is a believer.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Or a Muslim. I may give to one man although someone else is more beloved to me, for fear lest he be thrown on his face into the Fire.'"

237 - (150) حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَامِرُ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ سَعْدٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْطَى رَهْطًا وَسَعْدٌ جَالِسٌ فِيهِمْ، قَالَ سَعْدٌ: فَتَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ لَمْ يُعْطِهِ، وَهُوَ أَعْجَبُهُمْ إِلَيَّ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا لَكَ عَنْ فُلَانٍ؟ فَوَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَاهُ مُؤْمِنًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَوْ مُسْلِمًا»، قَالَ: فَسَكَتُّ قَلِيلًا ثُمَّ غَلَبَنِي مَا أَعْلَمُ مِنْهُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا لَكَ عَنْ فُلَانٍ؟ فَوَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَاهُ مُؤْمِنًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَوْ مُسْلِمًا»، قَالَ: فَسَكَتُّ قَلِيلًا ثُمَّ غَلَبَنِي مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا لَكَ عَنْ فُلَانٍ؟ فَوَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَاهُ مُؤْمِنًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَوْ مُسْلِمًا، إِنِّي لَأُعْطِي الرَّجُلَ وَغَيْرُهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُ، خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يُكَبَّ فِي النَّارِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ»،
