Volume 4, Book 53, Number 373:
Narrated ‘Amr bin Taghlib:
Allah’s Apostle gave (gifts) to some people to the exclusion of some others. The latter seemed to be
displeased by that. The Prophet said, “I give to some people, lest they should deviate from True Faith
or lose patience, while I refer other people to the goodness and contentment which Allah has put in
their hearts, and ‘Amr bin Taghlib is amongst them.” ‘Amr bin Taghlib said, “The statement of Allah’s
Apostle is dearer to me than red camels.”
Narrated Al-Hasan: ‘Amr bin Taghlib told us that Allah’s Apostle got some property or some war
prisoners and he distributed them in the above way (i.e. giving to some people to the exclusion of
others) .
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 178:
Narrated ‘Amr bin Taghlib:
The Prophet said, “One of the portents of the Hour is that you will fight with people wearing shoes
made of hair; and one of the portents of the Hour is that you will fight with broad-faced people
whose faces will look like shields coated with leather.”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 2 > BOOK 13: FRIDAY PRAYER
Some property or something was brought to Allah’s Apostle 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-contented 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.
