حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ اسْتَعْمَلَ عَامِلًا، فَجَاءَهُ الْعَامِلُ حِينَ فَرَغَ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَذَا لَكُمْ، وَهَذَا أُهْدِيَ لِي. فَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَفَلَا قَعَدْتَ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيكَ وَأُمِّكَ، فَنَظَرْتَ أَيُهْدَى لَكَ أَمْ لَا؟» ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَشِيَّةً بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ، فَتَشَهَّدَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللَّهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَمَا بَالُ الْعَامِلِ نَسْتَعْمِلُهُ، فَيَأْتِينَا فَيَقُولُ: هَذَا مِنْ عَمَلِكُمْ، وَهَذَا أُهْدِيَ لِي؟ أَفَلَا قَعَدَ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ، فَنَظَرَ هَلْ يُهْدَى لَهُ أَمْ لَا؟ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، لَا يَغُلُّ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا إِلَّا جَاءَ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَحْمِلُهُ عَلَى عُنُقِهِ؛ إِنْ كَانَ بَعِيرًا جَاءَ بِهِ لَهُ رُغَاءٌ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ بَقَرَةً جَاءَ بِهَا لَهَا خُوَارٌ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ شَاةً جَاءَ بِهَا تَيْعَرُ. فَقَدْ بَلَّغْتُ» فَقَالَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ: ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ حَتَّى إِنَّا لَنَنْظُرُ إِلَى عُفْرَةِ إِبْطَيْهِ.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed a worker, and when the worker finished his task he came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is for you, and this was gifted to me." So he said to him: "Why did you not sit in your father's and mother's house and see whether gifts would be given to you or not?" Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood one evening after the prayer, declared the testimony of faith, and praised Allah ﷻ as He deserves, then said: "Now then, what is the matter with a worker whom we appoint, and he comes to us and says: 'This is from your work, and this was gifted to me'? Why did he not sit in his father's and mother's house and see whether gifts would be given to him or not? By the One in whose Hand is Muhammad's soul, none of you takes anything from it unlawfully except that he will come with it on the Day of Resurrection carrying it on his neck: if it is a camel, he will bring it with its grunting; if it is a cow, he will bring it with its mooing; and if it is a sheep, he will bring it bleating. I have conveyed." Abu Humaid said: Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hand until we could see the whiteness of his armpits. Abu Humaid said: Zaid ibn Thabit also heard that with me from the Prophet ﷺ, so ask him.
Notes
قَالَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ: وَقَدْ سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ مَعِي زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَسَلُوهُ.
فَقَالَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَدَهُ حَتَّى إِنَّا لَنَنْظُرُ إِلَى عُفْرَةِ إِبْطَيْهِ. قَالَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ وَقَدْ سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ مَعِي زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَسَلُوهُ
