أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ يَقُولُ
اسْتَعْمَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ابْنَ اللُّتْبِيَّةِ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ حَاسَبَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَذَا لَكُمْ وَهَذِهِ هَدِيَّةٌ أُهْدِيَتْ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَلَا جَلَسْتَ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيكَ وَأُمِّكَ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَكَ هَدِيَّتُكَ» فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الظُّهْرَ قَامَ فَخَطَبَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ نُوَلِّيهِمْ أُمُورًا مِمَّا وَلَّانَا اللَّهُ وَنَسْتَعْمِلَهُمْ عَلَى أُمُورٍ مِمَّا وَلَّانِي اللَّهُ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي أَحَدُهُمْ فَيَقُولُ هَذَا لَكُمْ وَهَذِهِ أُهْدِيَتْ إِلَيَّ أَلَا جَلَسَ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَهُ هَدِيَّتُهُ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَا يَأْخُذُ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ شَيْئًا بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ إِلَّا جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَحْمِلُهُ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ فَلَا أَعْرِفَنَّ رَجُلًا يَحْمِلُ عَلَى عُنُقِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بَعِيرًا لَهُ رُغَاءٌ أَوْ بَقَرَةً لَهَا خُوَارٌ أَوْ شَاةً تَيْعَرُ» ثُمَّ بَسَطَ يَدَهُ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ بَصَرَ عَيْنِي وَسَمِعَ أُذُنِي ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلَا هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ ثَلَاثًا » الشَّهِيدُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ يَحُكُّ مَنْكِبِي مَنْكِبَهُ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed a man from the Azd tribe called Ibn al-Utbiyya, in charge of Sadaqat to be received from Banu Sulaim. When he came (back), the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him to render his account. He said: This wealth is for you (i.e. for the public treasury) and this is a gift (presented to me). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: You should have remained in the house of your father and your mother, until your gift came to you if you spoke the truth; then he addressed us. He praised God and extolled Him, and afterwards said: I appoint a man from you to a responsible post sharing with him authority that God has entrusted to me, and he comes to me saying: This wealth is for you (i.e. for the public treasury) and this is a gift presented to me. Why did he not remain in the house of his father and his mother and his gift came to him, if he was truthful? By God, any one of you will not take anything from (the public funds) without any justification, but will meet his Lord carrying it on himself on the Day of judgment. I will recognise any one of you meeting Allah and carrying a growling camel, or a cow bellowing or a goat bleating. Then he raised his hands so high that whiteness of his armpits could be seen. Then he said: O my Lord, I have conveyed (Thy Commandments). The narrator says: My eyes saw (the Prophet standing in that pose) and my ears heard (what he said). (Using translation from Muslim 1832c)
