## Hadith #2946

**Book:** Tribute, Spoils, and Rulership (Kitab Al-Kharaj, Wal-Fai' Wal-Imarah) | **Narrator(s):** Abu Mas'ud al-Badri, Jarir bin 'Abdul Hameed al-Razi جرير بن عبد الحميد أبو عبد الله الضبي, Matruf bin Tarayf al-Harithi مطرف بن طريف, Uthman bin Muhammad | **Grade:** Sahih

The Prophet (ﷺ) appointed a man of Azd called Ibn al-Lutbiyayah (to collect sadaqah). The narrator Ibn al-Sarh said: (He appointed) Ibn al-Utbiyyah 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’s or mother’s 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 ?
