Hadith 3953

English

Sa‘d ibn Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave to a group while I was present, ¹ but left out a man who impressed me most. I stood and said: “What about so-and-so? By Allah, I see him as a believer.” ² The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Or a Muslim?” Sa‘d repeated this three times, and each time he replied similarly, then said: “I give to a man while another is dearer to me, fearing he be thrown into the Fire on his face.” [Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim] Ali al-Qari said: Islam and faith differ linguistically but are united in Shariah.

Left out a man who impressed me most, etc.

(1) The statement: “Left out a man who impressed me most, etc.”: Al-‘Ayni said: This shows the leader distributes wealth based on the most pressing Muslim interests. As in (‘Umdat al-Qari). Thus, (Ad-Durr al-Mukhtar) says: The remaining fifth is divided into three parts for orphans, the needy, and wayfarers, and may be given to one category.

Note 2

I see him as a believer,

(2) The statement: “I see him as a believer,” and he said: “Or a Muslim”: Scholars differ on whether Islam and faith are distinct or united. Ali al-Qari said: The dispute is verbal; the first is linguistic, the second Shariah-based. Some say: They differ conceptually but align in application.

قوله

(١) قوله: فترك رسول الله صلي الله عليه واله وسلم منهم رجلًا هو أعجبهم إلى إلخ: قال العلامة العيني: فيه دليل على أن الإمام يصرفالأموال في مصالح المسلمين الأهم فالأهم. قاله في (عمدة القاري). ولذلك قال في (الدر المختار): والخمس الباقييقسم أثلاثا عندنا لليتيم والمسكين وابن السبيل، وجاز صرفه لصنف واحد.

قوله

(٢) قوله: لأَراه مؤمنا، قال رسول الله صلي الله عليه واله وسلم : أو مسلما: اختلف أهل العلم في أن الإسلام مغاير للإيمان أو متحدان. قالعلي القاري: والحق أن الخلاف لفظي؛ لأن الأول بناء على اللغة، والثاني مداره على الشريعة. وقيل: التحقيق إنهمامختلفان باعتبار المفهوم متحدان في المصداق.
