Sahih al-Bukhari 923 (Book 11, Hadith 47) #893
Patience & Contentment Rewarded

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) distributing something and giving to some people while ignoring others, and then being admonished for it. He explains that he gives to some people because they lack patience and contentment in their hearts, while those who have these qualities are left with the goodness Allah has put into their hearts.

Narrated 'Amr bin Taghlib: Some property or something was brought to Allah's Messenger and he distributed it. He gave to some men and ignored the others. Later he got the news of his being admonished by those whom he had ignored. So he glorified and praised Allah and said, "Amma ba'du. By Allah, I may give to a man and ignore another, although the one whom I ignore is more beloved to me than the one whom I give. But I give to some people as I feel that they have no patience and no contentment in their hearts and I leave those who are patient and self-content with the goodness and wealth which Allah has put into their hearts and 'Amr bin Taghlib is one of them"'.Amr added, By Allah! Those words of Allah's Apostle are more beloved to me than the best red camels.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ، يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ تَغْلِبَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُتِيَ بِمَالٍ أَوْ سَبْىٍ فَقَسَمَهُ، فَأَعْطَى رِجَالاً وَتَرَكَ رِجَالاً فَبَلَغَهُ أَنَّ الَّذِينَ تَرَكَ عَتَبُوا، فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ ثُمَّ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأُعْطِي الرَّجُلَ، وَأَدَعُ الرَّجُلَ، وَالَّذِي أَدَعُ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنَ الَّذِي أُعْطِي وَلَكِنْ أُعْطِي أَقْوَامًا لِمَا أَرَى فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مِنَ الْجَزَعِ وَالْهَلَعِ، وَأَكِلُ أَقْوَامًا إِلَى مَا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مِنَ الْغِنَى وَالْخَيْرِ، فِيهِمْ عَمْرُو بْنُ تَغْلِبَ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي بِكَلِمَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حُمْرَ النَّعَمِ‏.‏ تَابَعَهُ يُونُسُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of having patience and contentment in one's heart. It tells us that when we are patient and content with what Allah has given us, we will be rewarded for it. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was admonished by those whom he had ignored when distributing something, but he explained that he gave to some people because they lacked patience and contentment in their hearts. On the other hand, those who have these qualities were left with the goodness Allah has put into their hearts. This teaches us that if we remain patient despite our hardships or difficulties, Allah will reward us for it in ways we cannot imagine. We should also be thankful for what we have been blessed with instead of wanting more than what is necessary or appropriate for us at any given time.
