[4738] 26 - (1832) It was narrated that Abū Humaid As-Sā'idī said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ appointed a man in charge of collecting the Sadaqah (Zakāt) from Al-Asad who was called Ibn Al-Lutbiyyah. When he came he said: 'This is for you, and this was given to me.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood up on the Minbar and praised and glorified Allāh, and said: 'What is the matter with an agent whom I send, and he says: "This is for you and this was given to me?" Why doesn't he sit in the house of his father or the house of his mother and see if he is given anything or not. By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad! None of you gets anything from it (unlawfully), but he will bring it on the Day of Resurrection, carrying it on his shoulders, even if it is a groaning camel, a lowing cow or a bleating sheep.' Then he raised his arms until we saw the whiteness of his armpits, then he said: 'O Allāh, have I conveyed (the message)?' two times."
