Hadith 2946
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي خَلَفٍ ، لفظه قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَعْمَلَ رَجُلًا مِنْ الأَزْدِ يُقَالُ لَهُ ابْنُ اللُّتْبِيَّةِ ، قَالَ ابْنُ السَّرْحِ ، ابْنُ الأُتْبِيَّةِ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ ، فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ : هَذَا لَكُمْ وَهَذَا أُهْدِيَ لِي ، فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ، وَقَالَ : مَا بَالُ الْعَامِلِ نَبْعَثُهُ فَيَجِيءُ فَيَقُولُ : هَذَا لَكُمْ وَهَذَا أُهْدِيَ لِي ، أَلَا جَلَسَ فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّهِ أَوْ أَبِيهِ فَيَنْظُرَ أَيُهْدَى لَهُ أَمْ لَا ؟ لَا يَأْتِي أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا جَاءَ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، إِنْ كَانَ بَعِيرًا فَلَهُ رُغَاءٌ ، أَوْ بَقَرَةً فَلَهَا خُوَارٌ ، أَوْ شَاةً تَيْعَرُ ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا عُفْرَةَ إِبِطَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ " .
Narrated Abu Humaid al-Saeedi: The Prophet ﷺ appointed a man of Azd called Ibn al-Lutbiyayah (to collect sadaqah). The narrator Ibn al-Sarh said: (He appointed) Ibn al-Utbiyyah to collect the sadaqah. When he returned he said: This is for you and this was given to me as present. So the Prophet ﷺ stood on the pulpit, and after praising and extolling Allah he said: What is the matter with a collector of sadaqah. We send him (to collect sadaqah), and when he return he says: This is for you and this is a present which was given to me. Why did he not sit in his father's or mother's house and see whether it would be given to him or not ? Whoever takes any of it will inevitably bring it on the Day of Resurrection, be it a camel which rumbles, an ox which bellows, or sheep which-bleats. Then raising his arms so that we could see where the hair grow under his armpits, he said: O Allah, have I given full information ? O Allah, have I given full information ?
