English translation

2946. It was reported from Abū Humaid As-Sā'idī who said: “The Prophet ﷺ appointed a man from Al-Azd called Ibn Al-Lutbiyyah — Ibn As-Sarḥ (one of the narrators) said: Ibn Al-Utbiyyah — to collect the Ṣadaqah. When he returned, he said: ‘This is for you, and this has been given to me as a gift.’ So the Prophet ﷺ stood up on the Minbar, praised and glorified Allāh, and then said: ‘What is the matter with the employee; we send him, and he comes back saying: “This is for you (the collection of Zakāt), and this has been given to me as gift.” Why does he not sit in the house of his mother or father and then see if he is given a gift or not. None of you will take anything of that, except that he will come along with it on the Day of Resurrection, if it is a camel; it will be grunting, or a cow; it will be mooing, or a sheep; it will be bleating.' Then he raised his arms up until we saw the whiteness of his armpits, and he said: 'O Allāh! Have I not conveyed? O Allāh! Have I not the conveyed?'" (Ṣaḥīh)

2946 - حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ، وَابْنُ أَبِي خَلَفٍ، لَفْظَهُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَعْمَلَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَزْدِ يُقَالُ لَهُ ابْنُ اللُّتْبِيَّةِ - قَالَ ابْنُ السَّرْحِ: ابْنُ الْأُتْبِيَّةِ - عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ فَجَاءَ، فَقَالَ: هَذَا لَكُمْ وَهَذَا أُهْدِيَ لِي، فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، وَقَالَ: «مَا بَالُ الْعَامِلِ نَبْعَثُهُ فَيَجِيءُ فَيَقُولُ هَذَا لَكُمْ وَهَذَا أُهْدِيَ لِي، أَلَا جَلَسَ فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّهِ أَوْ أَبِيهِ فَيَنْظُرَ أَيُهْدَى لَهُ أَمْ لَا؟ لَا يَأْتِي أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا جَاءَ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، إِنْ كَانَ بَعِيرًا فَلَهُ رُغَاءٌ، أَوْ بَقَرَةً فَلَهَا خُوَارٌ، أَوْ شَاةً تَيْعَرُ»، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا عُفْرَةَ إِبِطَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ، اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ»

    [1] In 'Awn Al-Ma'būd, the author said: “It appears that it is Abū Bakr As-Siddīq, may Allāh be pleased with him.” But in Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Khuzaimah (no. 2370), Ibn Khuzaimah narrated it through the same route as the author, via Al-Mu'āfā, who is Al-Mu'āfa bin 'Imrān Al-Mawṣilī. Here Ibn Khuzaimah has: “Abū Bakr” — that is Al-Mu'āfa — said.
