Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Muhammad ibn Ma'mar narrated to us, Abu 'Asim narrated to us, from Jarir ibn Hazm, I heard al-Hasan say: 'Amr ibn Taghlib narrated to us: Yunus followed him in this narration.
The Shaykh : There is no doubt that this is a great word, a great commendation of 'Amr ibn Taghlib (may Allah be pleased with him).
That the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was brought wealth or captives, so he distributed it, giving to some men and leaving others. It was reported to him that those who were left were displeased, so he praised Allah and then extolled Him, and then said: "As for what follows, by Allah, I give to a man and leave a man, and the one I leave is more beloved to me than the one I give to. But I give to some people because of what I see in their hearts of distress and panic, and I leave some people to what Allah has placed in their hearts of wealth and good, among them being 'Amr ibn Taghlib - by Allah, I would not love to have the red camels of Najd in exchange for a word of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) -
أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أتي بمال أو سبي فقسمه فأعطى رجالاً وترك رجالاً، فبلغه أن الذين ترك عتبوا، فحمد الله ثم أثنى عليه ثم قال أما بعد: فوالله إني لأعطي الرجل وأدع الرجل، والذي أدع أحب إلي من الذي أعطي، ولكن أعطي أقواماً لما أرى في قلوبهم من الجزع والهلع، وأكل أقواماً إلى ما جعل الله في قلوبهم من الغنى والخير فيهم عمرو بن تغلب - فوالله ما أحب أن لي بكلمة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حمر النعم -The Shaykh : There is no doubt that this is a great word, a great commendation of 'Amr ibn Taghlib (may Allah be pleased with him).
