Sa'd narrated it on the authority of his father (Abi Waqqas) that he observed:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) distributed shares (of booty among his Companions). I said: Messenger of Allah! Give it to so and so, for verily he is a believer. Upon this the Messenger of Allah remarked: Or a Muslim. I (the narrator) repeated it (the word" believer" ) thrice and he (the Holy Prophet) turned his back upon me (and substituted the word)" Muslim," and then observed: I bestow it (this share) to a man out of apprehension lest Allah should throw him prostrate into the fire (of Hell) whereas in fact the other man is dearer to me than he.
Explanation
-يكب means to return back to
-رهط is a group less than ten
-we are not
allowed to say a person is a believer, rather we go by what is apparent
-the Prophet
affirmed Eman for the man but it was weak, so the meaning is that he gave to
man with weak Eman because if he didn't then he feared for him Kufr and the
fire
Sharh Sahih Muslim, 2/200-203
