Musnad Ahmad 1579

It was narrated from ‘Amir bin Sa"d bin Malik, from his father, from the Prophet (ﷺ) that some people came to him and asked him (for help), and he gave to them except one man among them. Sa’d said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, you gave to them and you left out So and so; by Allah I think he is a believer. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Or a Muslim." Sa"d repeated that three times, saying that he was a believer, and the Prophet (ﷺ) replied: “Or a Muslim” then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, the third time: “By Allah, I give something to a man although someone else is dearer to me than him, for fear that Allah may throw him on his face in Hell."
