Arabic text

1808 - حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْمُعْتَدِي فِي الصَّدَقَةِ كَمَانِعِهَا»

Commentary

This type of collector is given resemblance to that of a person who evades Zakât because this collector's injustice urges people not to pay Zakât, and subsequently they stop paying Zakât by making excuses. An unjust person in matters of Zakât also can be the one who distributes Zakât and charity among those who are not rightful beneficiaries.
