Narrated Abu Humaid AlSaidi: Allah Messenger ﷺ employed an employee to collect Zakat. The employee returned after completing his job and said; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ! This amount of Zakat is for you; and this other amount was given to me as a present. The Prophet ﷺ said to him; Why didnt you stay at your father or mother house and see if you would be given presents or not? Then Allah Messenger ﷺ got up in the evening after the prayer; and having testified that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and praised and glorified Allah as He deserved; he said; Now then ! What about an employee whom we employ and then he comes and says; This amount of Zakat is for you; and this amount was given to me as a present? Why didnt he stay at the house of his father and mother to see if he would be given presents or not? By Him in Whose Hand Muhammad soul is; none of you will steal anything of it i.e. Zakat but will bring it by carrying it over his neck on the Day of Resurrection. If it has been a camel; he will bring it over his neck while it will be grunting; and if it has been a cow; he will bring it over his neck ; while it will be mooing; and if it has been a sheep; he will bring it over his neck while it will be bleeding. The Prophet ﷺ added; I have preached you Allah Message. Abu Humaid said; Then Allah Messenger ﷺ raised his hands so high that we saw the whiteness of his armpits.
