حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَسْمًا، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَعْطِ فُلَانًا فَإِنَّهُ مُؤْمِنٌ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَوْ مُسْلِمٌ» أَقُولُهَا ثَلَاثًا، وَيُرَدِّدُهَا عَلَيَّ ثَلَاثًا «أَوْ مُسْلِمٌ»، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنِّي لَأُعْطِي الرَّجُلَ، وَغَيْرُهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُ، مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَكُبَّهُ اللهُ فِي النَّارِ».

The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) distributed shares (of booty among his Companions). I said: Messenger of Allah! Give it to so and so, for verily he is a believer. Upon this the Messenger of Allah remarked: Or a Muslim. I (the narrator) repeated it (the word believer ) thrice and he (the Holy Prophet) turned his back upon me (and substituted the word) Muslim, and then observed: I bestow it (this share) to a man out of apprehension lest Allah should throw him prostrate into the fire (of Hell) whereas in fact the other man is dearer to me than he.
