حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَابْنُ أَبِى عُمَرَ - وَاللَّفْظُ لأَبِى بَكْرٍ - قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِىِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِى حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِىِّ قَالَ اسْتَعْمَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- رَجُلاً مِنَ الأَسْدِ يُقَالُ لَهُ ابْنُ اللُّتْبِيَّةِ - قَالَ عَمْرٌو وَابْنُ أَبِى عُمَرَ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ - فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ قَالَ هَذَا لَكُمْ وَهَذَا لِى أُهْدِىَ لِى قَالَ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ « مَا بَالُ عَامِلٍ أَبْعَثُهُ فَيَقُولُ هَذَا لَكُمْ وَهَذَا أُهْدِىَ لِى. أَفَلاَ قَعَدَ فِى بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ أَوْ فِى بَيْتِ أُمِّهِ حَتَّى يَنْظُرَ أَيُهْدَى إِلَيْهِ أَمْ لاَ وَالَّذِى نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لاَ يَنَالُ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا إِلاَّ جَاءَ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَحْمِلُهُ عَلَى عُنُقِهِ بَعِيرٌ لَهُ رُغَاءٌ أَوْ بَقَرَةٌ لَهَا خُوَارٌ أَوْ شَاةٌ تَيْعِرُ ». ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا عُفْرَتَىْ إِبْطَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ « اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ ». مَرَّتَيْنِ.

It was narrated that Abu Humaid As-Sa'idi said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) appointed a man in charge of collecting the Sadaqah (Zakat) 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 Allah (s.a.w) stood up on the Minbar and praised and glorified Allah, 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 Allah, have I conveyed (the message)?' two times."
