عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِي فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! مَا صَدَقَةُ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ قَالَ: ((كَذَا وَكَذَا))، قَالَ: فَإِنَّ فُلَانًا تَعَدَّى عَلَيَّ، قَالَ: فَنَظَرُوا فَوَجَدُوا هُ قَدْ تَعَدَّى عَلَيْهِ بِصَاعٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((فَكَيْفَ بِكُمْ إِذَا سَعَى مَنْ يَتَعَدَّى عَلَيْكُمْ أَشَدَّ مِنْ هَذَا التَّعَدِّي))
Sayyida Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates, she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was present in my house when a man came and asked: What is the amount of zakat on such and such wealth? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Such and such amount. He said: Then so-and-so has wronged me and collected more zakat from me. Then when they investigated, they found that indeed he had taken an extra amount equal to one sa’. So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What will be your condition when your rulers will oppress you even more than this?
