(MUST READ) Hadith: Sahl bin Sa’ad narrated that once a person [who, perhaps, came from the class of the rich and the distinguished] passed in front of the Prophet. [On seeing him], the Prophet asked one of those who were sitting with him at that time what he thought of him. He replied, “Sir, he is one of the most respectable men. Such is his eminence that if he makes an offer of marriage to the daughter of any family, it will be accepted and she will be married to him, and if he makes a recommendation in any matter, it will be granted.” At this reply, the Prophet kept quiet and did not say anything. After some time, another bondsman of the Lord passed by and the Prophet asked the same person again, “What do you think of him?” He replied, “O Apostle of God! He is one of the weak and indigent Muslims. He is such a man that if he makes on offer of marriage anywhere, it will be rejected, and if he makes a recommendation in any matter, it will be turned down, and if he wants to say anything, it will not be heard.” The Prophet, thereupon, said, ‘If people like the one who passed by earlier [are so numerous as to] fill the earth, this weak and poor bondsman, still, is better than [all of] them’.” -Bukhari and Muslim SubhanAllah 😍
