Sahih Bukhari 923

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يَقُولُ : حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ تَغْلِبَ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِمَالٍ أَوْ سَبْيٍ فَقَسَمَهُ فَأَعْطَى رِجَالًا وَتَرَكَ رِجَالًا ، فَبَلَغَهُ أَنَّ الَّذِينَ تَرَكَ عَتَبُوا فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ ، ثُمَّ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُعْطِي الرَّجُلَ وَأَدَعُ الرَّجُلَ ، وَالَّذِي أَدَعُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الَّذِي أُعْطِي ، وَلَكِنْ أُعْطِي أَقْوَامًا لِمَا أَرَى فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مِنَ الْجَزَعِ وَالْهَلَعِ وَأَكِلُ أَقْوَامًا إِلَى مَا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مِنَ الْغِنَى وَالْخَيْرِ فِيهِمْ عَمْرُو بْنُ تَغْلِبَ ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي بِكَلِمَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حُمْرَ النَّعَمِ ، تَابَعَهُ يُونُسُ .

Narrated `Amr bin Taghlib: Some property or something was brought to Allah's Apostle and he distributed it. He gave to some men and ignored the others. Later he got the news of his being admonished by those whom he had ignored. So he glorified and praised Allah and said, Amma ba'du. By Allah, I may give to a man and ignore another, although the one whom I ignore is more beloved to me than the one whom I give. But I give to some people as I feel that they have no patience and no contentment in their hearts and I leave those who are patient and self-content with the goodness and wealth which Allah has put into their hearts and `Amr bin Taghlib is one of them. `Amr added, By Allah! Those words of Allah's Apostle are more beloved to me than the best red camels.
