حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَرَّ رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم 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 صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ مَرَّ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ 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 صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ هَذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ مِلْءِ الأَرْضِ مِثْلَ هَذَا ‏"‏‏.‏

Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d As-Sa`id:A man passed by Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and the Prophet (ﷺ) asked a man sitting beside him, "What is your opinion about this (passer-by)?" He replied, "This (passer-by) is from the noble class of people. By Allah, if he should ask for a lady's hand in marriage, he ought to be given her in marriage, and if he intercedes for somebody, his intercession will be accepted. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept quiet, and then another man passed by and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked the same man (his companion) again, "What is your opinion about this (second) one?" He said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! This person is one of the poor Muslims. If he should ask a lady's hand in marriage, no-one will accept him, and if he intercedes for somebody, no one will accept his intercession, and if he talks, no-one will listen to his talk." Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "This (poor man) is better than such a large number of the first type (i.e. rich men) as to fill the earth

Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sa'idi bataate hain: Ek shaks Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ke paas se guzra, aur Nabi (SAW) ne apne paas baithe ek shaks se pucha, 'Is (guzarne wale) ke baare mein aapki kya raay hai?' Unhone jawab diya, 'Ye (guzarne wala) izzatdaar logon mein se hai. Allah ki qasam, agar wo kisi khaatoon ka haath maange nikaah ke liye, to use di jaani chaahiye, aur agar wo kisi ke liye sifaarish kare, to uski sifaarish qubool ki jaayegi.' Allah ke Rasool (SAW) khaamosh rahe, phir ek aur shaks guzra aur Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne usi shaks (apne saathi) se dobara pucha, 'Is (doosre) ke baare mein aapki kya raay hai?' Unhone kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Ye gareeb Musalmaanon mein se ek hai. Agar wo kisi khaatoon ka haath maange, to koi use nahi dega, aur agar wo kisi ke liye sifaarish kare, to koi uski sifaarish qubool nahi karega, aur agar wo baat kare, to koi uski baat nahi sunega.' Phir Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne kaha, 'Ye (gareeb aadmi) pehli qism (ameer aadmiyon) ke zameen bhar itne aadmiyon se behtar hai.'
