A man passed by Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Allah s Apostle asked (his companions) "What do you say about
this (man)?" They replied "If he asks for a lady's hand, he ought to be given her in marriage; and if he
intercedes (for someone) his intercessor should be accepted; and if he speaks, he should be listened
to." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept silent, and then a man from among the poor Muslims passed by, an Allah's
Apostle asked (them) "What do you say about this man?" They replied, "If he asks for a lady's hand in

is better than so many of the first as filling the earth.'
