وعن عمرو بن تغلب (بفتح التاء المثناة فوق وإسكان الغين المعجمة وكسر اللام) رضي الله عنه

أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أتي بمال أو سبي فقسمه، فأعطى رجالا، وترك رجالا، 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، ولكني إنما أعطي أقواماً لما أرى في قلوبهم من الجزع والهلع، وأكل أقواماً إلى ما جعل الله في قلوبهم من الغنى والخير، منهم عمرو بن تغلب» قال عمرو بن تغلب: فوالله ما أحب أن لي بكلمة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حمر النعم

Some booty or prisoners of war were brought to Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and he distributed them, giving some men and neglecting others. Then, he was informed that those whom he had not given a thing were displeased. On this the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) praised Allah and glorified Him and said, “It is a fact that I give to one and overlook another.

The one I ignore is dearer to me than the one I give. I give to those in whose hearts I perceive anxiety; others I leave with the richness and contentment that Allah has put in their hearts. One of them is Amr ibn Taghlib.”

Upon this Amr ibn Taghlib said, “By Allah I shall not accept a herd of red camels in exchange for what the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said (about me).”.
