We say: He is one of the noblest of people. If heproposesmarriage, his proposal deserves to be accepted; and if heintercedes,his intercession deserves to be accepted; and if hespeaks, hedeserves to be listened to.’ The Prophet (PBUH) remainedsilent, andanother man passed by. The Prophet (PBUH) said: ‘What doyou thinkabout this man?’ We said: ‘By Allah, O Messenger ofAllah, this is oneof the poor Muslims.
