English Translation

Sa'd narrated: The Prophet (peace be upon him) gave to a group of people and Sa'd was sitting among them. He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you gave to so-and-so but left so-and-so, and he is a believer.' The Prophet said: 'Or a Muslim.' He repeated this three times and the Prophet kept saying: 'Or a Muslim.' Then he said: 'I give to a man though someone else is more beloved to me, for fear that Allah will throw him on his face in the Fire.'
