What did Allah's Prophet (saw) say about bestowing Zakat upon people he deemed less deserving than the others?
      Narrated Sa'd:                          Allah's Apostle distributed (Zakat) amongst (a group of) people while      I was sitting there but Allah's Apostle left a man whom I thought the      best of the lot. I asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Why have you left that      person? By Allah I regard him as a faithful believer." The Prophet      commented: "Or merely a Muslim." I remained quiet for a while, but      could not help repeating my question because of what I knew about him.     And then asked Allah's Apostle, "Why have you left so and so? By      Allah! He is a faithful believer." The Prophet again said, "Or merely      a Muslim." And I could not help repeating my question because of what      I knew about him. Then the Prophet said, "O Sa'd! I give to a person      while another is dearer to me, for fear that he might be thrown on his     face in the Fire by Allah."
