Saad reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ bestowed some gifts upon a group of people and I was sitting amongst them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ; however; left a person and he did not give him anything. and he seemed to me the most excellent among them and thus deserved the gifts more than anyone else. So I stood up before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said to him in undertone: Messenger of Allah; what about so and so? By Allah; I find him a believer. He the Messenger of Allah said: He may be a Muslim. I kept quiet for a short while; and then what I knew of him urged me to plead his case again and I said: Messenger of Allah; what about so and so? By Allah; I find him a believer. Upon this he the Holy Prophet said: He may be a Muslim. I again remained quiet for a short while; and what I knew of him again urged me to plead his case so I said: Messenger of Allah; what about so and so? By Allah; I find him a believer. Upon this he the Holy Prophet said: He may be a Muslim. I often bestow something upon a person; whereas someone else is dearer to me than he; because of the fear that he may fall headlong into the fire. And in the hadith transmitted by Hulwani this statement was repeated twice.
