عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَاعِيًا فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ أَنْ نَأْكُلَ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَأَذِنَ لَنَا
Narrated by Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed me over the collection of charity and alms. When I sought permission to eat from the wealth of zakat during this service, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted us permission.
