[4740] 27 - (...) It was narrated that Abū Ĥumaid As-Sā'idī said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ appointed a man from Al-Asad who was called Ibn Al-Lutbiyyah in charge of the Ṣadaqah (Zakāt) of Banū Sulaim. He said: 'This is your wealth, and this is a gift (for me).' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Why don't you sit in the house of your father and mother so that the gift may come to you, if you are telling the truth.' Then he addressed us; he praised and glorified Allâh, then he said: 'I appoint a man among you (to deal with some of the affairs) that Allâh has entrusted to me, then he comes and says: "This is your wealth and this is a gift that was given to me." Why doesn't he sit in the house of his father and mother so that the gift may come to him, if he is telling the truth? By Allâh, no one of you takes something from it unlawfully, but he will meet Allâh, exalted is He, on the Day of Resurrection carrying it, and I will recognize one of you who meets Allâh carrying a groaning camel, or a lowing cow, or a bleating sheep.' Then he raised his arms until the whiteness of his armpits could be seen and said: 'O Allâh, have I conveyed (the message)?' My eyes saw and my ears heard."
