حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ
مَرَّ رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ لِرَجُلٍ عِنْدَهُ جَالِسٍ: «مَا رَأْيُكَ فِي هَذَا؟» فَقَالَ: رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَشْرَافِ النَّاسِ هَذَا، وَاللَّهِ حَرِيٌّ إِنْ خَطَبَ أَنْ يُنْكَحَ، وَإِنْ شَفَعَ أَنْ يُشَفَّعَ. قَالَ: فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، ثُمَّ مَرَّ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «مَا رَأْيُكَ فِي هَذَا؟» فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَذَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ فُقَرَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، هَذَا حَرِيٌّ إِنْ خَطَبَ أَنْ لاَ يُنْكَحَ، وَإِنْ شَفَعَ أَنْ لاَ يُشَفَّعَ، وَإِنْ قَالَ أَنْ لاَ يُسْمَعَ لِقَوْلِهِ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «هَذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ مِلْءِ الأَرْضِ مِثْلَ هَذَا».

A man passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said to a man sitting with him: "What is your opinion of this one?" He replied, “This is a man from among the nobles. By Allah, he is worthy that if he proposes marriage, he be married; and if he intercedes, his intercession be accepted.” He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent. Then another man passed by, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: "What is your opinion of this one?" He replied, “O Messenger of Allah, this is a man among the poor Muslims. He is worthy that if he proposes marriage, he not be married; if he intercedes, his intercession not be accepted; and if he speaks, his words not be listened to.” Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "This one is better than an earth full of the likes of that one."
