Sahl ibn Sa‘d As-Sā‘idi (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that a man passed by the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) so he said to a man who was sitting with him: "What do you say about this man?" He replied: "He is one of the noblest of people. By Allah, if he proposes marriage his proposal deserves to be accepted, and if he intercedes his intercession deserves to be accepted." The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent.

Then another man passed by. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What do you think about this man?" He replied: "O Messenger of Allah, this is one of the poor Muslims. If he proposes marriage he does not deserve to get married, and if he intercedes his intercession does not deserve to be accepted, and if he speaks he does not deserve to be listened to." The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: "This one (the second) is better than an earthful of the other (the first).”

عن سهل بن سعد الساعدي رضي الله عنه قال: مَرَّ رجلٌ على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال لرجل عنده جالسٌ: «ما رأيُك في هَذا؟»، فقال: رجل من أَشراف الناس، هذا والله حَرِيٌّ إن خَطب أن يُنْكَحَ، وإن شَفع أن يُشَفَّعَ، فَسكت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ثم مرَّ رجلٌ آخر، فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «ما رأيُك في هذا؟» فقال: يا رسول الله، هذا رجلٌ من فقراء المسلمين، هذا حَرِيٌّ إن خَطب أن لا يُنْكَحَ، وإن شَفَعَ أن لا يُشَفَّعَ، وإن قال أن لا يُسمع لقوله، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «هذا خَيرٌ من مِلءِ الأرض مثل هذا».
