4534. It was narrated from 'Āishah that the Prophet ﷺ sent Abū Jahm bin Ḥudhaifah to collect the Zakāt and a man argued with him about his Ṣadaqah (Zakāt). Abū Jahm struck him, and wounded him in the head. They came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "Retaliation, O Messenger of Allāh!" The Prophet ﷺ said: "You will have such-and-such." But they did not accept. He said: "You will have such and such." But they did not accept. He said: "You will have such and such," and they accepted. The Prophet ﷺ said: "I am going to address the people in the afternoon and tell them of your acceptance." They said: "Yes." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ delivered a speech and said: "These Laithī people came to me seeking retaliation and I offered them such-and-such and they accepted. Do you accept it?" They said: "No." The Muhājirīn wanted to rebuke them, but the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ told them to refrain from doing anything to them, so they refrained. Then he called them, and increased the amount, and said: "Do you accept?" They said: "Yes." He said: "I am going to
address the people and tell them that you have accepted.” They said: “Yes.” The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ delivered a speech and said: “Do you accept?” They said: “Yes.” (Da'if)
