Sahih Bukhari 5091

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ سَهْلٍ ، قَالَ : مَرَّ رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ 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 الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، فَقَالَ : مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي هَذَا ؟ قَالُوا : حَرِيٌّ إِنْ خَطَبَ أَنْ لَا يُنْكَحَ ، وَإِنْ شَفَعَ أَنْ لَا يُشَفَّعَ ، وَإِنْ قَالَ أَنْ لَا يُسْتَمَعَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : هَذَاخَيْرٌ مِنْ مِلْءِ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلَ هَذَا .

Narrated Sahl: A man passed by Allah's Apostle and Allah s Apostle 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 intercessor should be accepted; and if he speaks, he should be listened to. Allah's Apostle kept silent, and then a man from among the poor Muslims passed by, an Allah's Apostle asked (them) What do you say about this man? They replied, If he asks for a lady's hand in marriage he does not deserve to be married, and he intercedes (for someone), his intercession should not be accepted; And if he speaks, he should not be listened to.' Allah's Apostle said, This poor man is better than so many of the first as filling the earth.'
