حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الأَشَجِّ ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ السَّاعِدِيِّ ، قَالَ : اسْتَعْمَلَنِي عُمَرُ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ أَمَرَ لِي بِعُمَالَةٍ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّمَا عَمِلْتُ لِلَّهِ ، قَالَ : خُذْ مَا أُعْطِيتَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ عَمِلْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَمَّلَنِي .
Narrated Ibn al-Saeedi: Umar reported me to collect the sadaqah (i. e. zakat). When I became free, he ordered to give me payment for it. I said: I have worked for the sake of Allah. He said: Take what you have been given, for I held an administrative post in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he gave me payment for it.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊
It is obligatory that whenever someone is employed for a task, his right to compensation for service must also be fulfilled. In this way, a real responsibility is placed upon the worker, and in the case of negligence, the right to hold him accountable also remains. Otherwise, the aspect of negligence will prevail.
➋
The narrator of the hadith has also been referred to as Ibn al-Sa'di, and his actual name has been reported as Abdullah, or Amr, or Qudamah.
