| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-29217 | | Narrated Abu Humaid AlSaidi: The Prophet ﷺ appointed a man of Azd called Ibn AlLutbiyayah to collect sadaqah. The narrator Ibn AlSarh said: He appointed Ibn AlUtbiyah to collect the sadaqah. When he returned he said: This is for you and this was given to me as present. So the Prophet ﷺ stood on the pulpit; and after praising and extolling Allah he said: What is the matter with a collector of sadaqah. We send him to collect sadaqah ; and when he return he says: This is for you and this is a present which was given to me. Why did he not sit in his father or mother house and see whether it would be given to him or not ? Whoever takes any of it will inevitably bring it on the Day of Resurrection; be it a camel which rumbles; an ox which bellows; or sheep which-bleats. Then raising his arms so that we could see where the hair grow under his armpits; he said: O Allah; have I given full information ? O Allah; have I given full information ? | The Chapter on Facts And Alquran in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on Regarding Gifts For An Employee In Government in Sunan Abu Dawoud |
