Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَعْطَاهُ غَنَمًا بَيْنَ جَبَلَيْنِ فَأَتَى قَوْمَهُ فَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ أَسْلِمُوا فَإِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا يُعْطِي عَطَاءَ رَجُلٍ لَا يَخَافُ الْفَاقَةَ وَإِنْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ لَيَجِيءُ إِلَيْهِ مَا يُرِيدُ إِلَّا الدُّنْيَا فَمَا يُمْسِي حَتَّى يَكُونَ دِينُهُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ الدُّنْيَا بِمَا فِيهَا.
English Translation
Aswad ibn Amir told us: Hammad ibn Salama told us, from Thabit, from Anas, that a man asked the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, so he gave him sheep filling the space between two mountains. He went to his people and said: "O my people, embrace Islam, for Muhammad gives like one who does not fear poverty." And indeed a man would come to him seeking nothing but this world, and by evening his religion would have become dearer to him than the world and all it contains.
