1811. Ibrâhim bin 'Atâ', the freed slave of Imrân bin Husain, said: "My father told me that Imrân bin Husain was appointed to collect the Sadaqah. When he came back, it was said to him: 'Where is the wealth?' He said: 'Was it for wealth that you sent me? We took it from where we used to take it at the time of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and we distributed it where we used to distribute it.'" (Hasan)
1811 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَدْرٍ عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَتَّابٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، مَوْلَى عِمْرَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، أَنَّ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ الْحُصَيْنِ، اسْتُعْمِلَ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ قِيلَ لَهُ: أَيْنَ الْمَالُ؟ قَالَ: «وَلِلْمَالِ أَرْسَلْتَنِي؟ أَخَذْنَاهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ كُنَّا نَأْخُذُهُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَوَضَعْنَاهُ حَيْثُ كُنَّا نَضَعُهُ»

This conversation of Imrân bin Husain ﷺ was with 'Umar ﷺ; it was upon 'Umar's order that Imrân went to Basrah to collect Zakât. The poor people of the area from where the Zakât is being collected have more right to Zakât. The noble Companions ﷺ were very strict in following the Sunnah of the noble Prophet ﷺ.
