It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave wealth to several people, but did not give anything to one individual among them. Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! You gave wealth to such-and-such people, but did not give anything to such-and-such person, even though he is also a believer? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Is he not a Muslim? Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) repeated this three times, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept saying: Is he not a Muslim? Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sometimes it happens that I give gifts to many people, but the one who is dearest to me among them, I do not give anything to him, lest other people (because of not receiving a gift) fall headlong into Hell.
