عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ قَالَ:
اسْتَعْمَلَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ طَاوُسًا عَلَى حَكَمَ يُصَدِّقُ أَمْوَالَهُمْ قَالَ: فَصَدَّقَهَا ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ مَعَهُ بِدِرْهَمٍ قَالَ: قُلتُ لَهُ: كَيْفَ كُنْتَ تَصْنَعُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ؟ قَالَ: " كُنَّا نَقِفُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ، فَنَقُولُ: تَصَدَّقْ رَحِمَكَ اللهُ مِمَّا أَعْطَاكَ اللهُ، فَإِنْ أَخْرَجَ إِلَيْنَا مَا نَرَى أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ قَبِلْنَا "، وَإِلَّا قُلْنَا لَهُ: " اسْتَعْتِبْ رَحِمَكَ اللهُ، فَإِنْ فَعَلَ، وَإِلَّا قَبِلْنَا مِنْهُ مَا أَعْطَانَا، ثُمَّ نَظَرْنَا إِلَى أَحْوَجِ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ فَدَفَعْنَاهُ إِلَيْهِمُ "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: فَإِنْ رَجُلٌ أَتَاكُمْ بِصَدَقَتِهِ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَا، ثُمَّ رَجِعَ بِهَا قَالَ: " إِذًا لَا نُرْجِعُهُ
Translation
✧ Muhammad b. Yusuf appointed Tawus over the district of Hakam to collect zakah from their wealth. He said: He collected it and did not return with a single dirham. I said to him: "How did you use to do it, O Abu 'Abd al-Rahman?" He said: "We would stand by a man among his family and wealth and say: 'Give charity, may God have mercy on you, from what God has given you.' If he brought out to us what we considered to be the due amount, we accepted it. Otherwise we said to him: 'Make amends, may God have mercy on you.' If he did, [we accepted]; if not, we accepted from him what he gave. Then we looked for the neediest household and gave it to them." I said to him: "What if a man brought his zakah to you and stood with it before you, then took it back?" He said: "In that case we would not make him return it."
