\nNarrated Sahl:\n \n\nA man passed by Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Allah s Apostle asked (his companions) "What do you say about \nthis (man)?" They replied "If he asks for a lady's hand, he ought to be given her in marriage; and if he \nintercedes (for someone) his intercessor should be accepted; and if he speaks, he should be listened \nto." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept silent, and then a man from among the poor Muslims passed by, an Allah's \nApostle asked (them) "What do you say about this man?" They replied, "If he asks for a lady's hand in \nmarriage he does not deserve to be married, and he intercedes (for someone), his intercession should \nnot be accepted; And if he speaks, he should not be listened to.' Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "This poor man \nis better than so many of the first as filling the earth.'\n

\nحَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سَهْلٍ، قَالَ مَرَّ رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي هَذَا ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا حَرِيٌّ إِنْ خَطَبَ أَنْ يُنْكَحَ، وَإِنْ شَفَعَ أَنْ يُشَفَّعَ، وَإِنْ قَالَ أَنْ يُسْتَمَعَ‏.‏ قَالَ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ مِنَ فُقَرَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ 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 صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ هَذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ مِلْءِ الأَرْضِ مِثْلَ هَذَا ‏"‏‏.‏
