Mishkat al-Masabih 30 Fine Qualities كتاب المناقب 259

وَعَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَسْلَمَ النَّاسُ وآمن عَمْرو بنُ الْعَاصِ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ وقا ل: هَذَا حَدِيث غَرِيب وَلَيْسَ إِسْنَاده بِالْقَوِيّ

`Uqba b. `Amir reported God’s messenger as saying, “The people accepted Islam, but `Amr b. al-`As had faith[*].” *Some accepted Islam outwardly, possibly through fear, but `Amr was a genuine believer. Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying this is a gharib tradition whose isnad is not strong.
