حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، قَالَ مَرَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ قَالُوا رَأْيَكَ فِي . هَذَا نَقُولُ هَذَا مِنْ أَشْرَافِ النَّاسِ هَذَا حَرِيٌّ إِنْ خَطَبَ أَنْ يُخَطَّبَ وَإِنْ شَفَعَ أَنْ يُشَفَّعَ وَإِنْ قَالَ أَنْ يُسْمَعَ لِقَوْلِهِ . فَسَكَتَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي هَذَا " . قَالُوا نَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا مِنْ فُقَرَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ هَذَا حَرِيٌّ إِنْ خَطَبَ لَمْ يُنْكَحْ وَإِنْ شَفَعَ لاَ يُشَفَّعْ وَإِنْ قَالَ لاَ يُسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " لَهَذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ مِلْءِ الأَرْضِ مِثْلَ هَذَا " .

It wasnarrated that Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sa'idi said:
"A man passed bythe Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and the Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'What doyousay about this man?' They said: 'We agree with your opinionconcerninghim. We say: He is one of the noblest of people. If heproposesmarriage, his proposal deserves to be accepted; and if heintercedes,his intercession deserves to be accepted; and if hespeaks, hedeserves to be listened to.' The Prophet (ﷺ) remainedsilent, andanother man passed by. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'What doyou thinkabout this man?' We said: 'By Allah, O Messenger ofAllah, this is oneof the poor Muslims. If he proposes marriage, hedoes not deserve toget married; and if he intercedes, hisintercession does not deserveto be accepted; and if he speaks, hedoes not deserve to be listenedto.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'Thisone is better than an earthful of(men like) the other man.'"
