وعن أنس رضي الله عنه

قال: ما سئل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم على الإسلام شيئاً إلا أعطاه، ولقد جاءه رجل، فأعطاه غنماً بين جبلين فرجع إلى قومه فقال: يا قوم أسلموا، فإن محمداً يعطى من لا يخشى الفقر، وإن كان الرجل ليسلم ما يريد إلا الدنيا، فما يلبث إلا يسيراً حتى يكون الإسلام أحب إليه من الدنيا وما عليها»

Whenever the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was asked a thing by one who is about to accept Islam, he would give it. A man came to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and he gave him a herd of sheep scattered between two mountains.

When he returned to his people, he said to them: “O my people! Embrace Islam because Muhammad gives like one who has no fear of poverty.” Some people would embrace Islam only for worldly gains, but soon Islam becomes dearer to them than the world with all what it contains.
