"عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ، يَجِدُ الشَّىْءَ لَوْ خَرَّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، فَتَخْطَفُهُ الطَّيْرُ، كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ بِهِ، قَالَ: ذَاكَ مَحْضُ أَوْ صَرِيحُ - الإِيمانِ".

"From Ibn Mas'ud who said: We asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about a man who finds a thing that, if it fell from the sky and the birds snatched it, would be dearer to him than speaking of it. He said: That is the pure essence or clear form of faith."
