أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَلَّامُ بْنُ أَبِي مُطِيعٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَعْمَرًا عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ سَعْدٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَسَمَ قَسْمًا فَأَعْطَی نَاسًا وَمَنَعَ آخَرِينَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعْطَيْتَ فُلَانًا وَمَنَعْتَ فُلَانًا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ قَالَ لَا تَقُلْ مُؤْمِنٌ وَقُلْ مُسْلِمٌ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ قَالَتْ الْأَعْرَابُ آمَنَّا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5008
It was narrated from Saad that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم i distributed (some spoils of war) and gave to some people but withheld from others. I said: “Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, you gave to so-and-so and so- and-so, and you withheld from so- and-so, who is a believer.” He said:" Do not say ‘a believer,’ say ‘a Muslim.” Ibn Shihab (one of the narrators) said: The Bedouins say: “We believe” (Sahih)
