[4743] 30 - (1833) It was narrated that 'Adiyy bin 'Amīrah Al-Kindī said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'Whomever we appoint of you to do any task, and he conceals a needle or more, it is stolen spoils of war (Ghulūl) that he will bring on the Day of Resurrection.' A black man from among the Anṣār stood up - it is as if I can see him now - and he said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, take back from me your assignment.' He said: 'Why are you saying that?' He said: 'I heard you saying such and such.' He (ﷺ) said: 'And I say it now. Whoever among you is appointed to do any task, let him bring everything, small or large, and whatever is given to him, let him take it, but whatever is forbidden to him, let him refrain.'"

30 - (1833) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعُ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ الْكِنْدِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَنِ اسْتَعْمَلْنَاهُ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى عَمَلٍ، فَكَتَمَنَا مِخْيَطًا، فَمَا فَوْقَهُ كَانَ غُلُولًا يَأْتِي بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»، قَالَ: فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ أَسْوَدُ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، اقْبَلْ عَنِّي عَمَلَكَ، قَالَ: «وَمَا لَكَ؟» قَالَ: سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ: كَذَا وَكَذَا، قَالَ: «وَأَنَا أَقُولُهُ الْآنَ، مَنِ اسْتَعْمَلْنَاهُ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى عَمَلٍ، فَلْيَجِئْ بِقَلِيلِهِ وَكَثِيرِهِ، فَمَا أُوتِيَ مِنْهُ أَخَذَ، وَمَا نُهِيَ عَنْهُ انْتَهَى»،
