عَنِ الْمُسْتَوْرِدِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ وَلِيَ لَنَا عَمَلًا وَلَيْسَ لَهُ مَنْزِلٌ فَلْيَتَّخِذْ مَنْزِلًا أَوْ لَيْسَتْ لَهُ زَوْجَةٌ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ أَوْ لَيْسَ لَهُ خَادِمٌ فَلْيَتَّخِذْ خَادِمًا أَوْ لَيْسَ لَهُ دَابَّةٌ فَلْيَتَّخِذْ دَابَّةً وَمَنْ أَصَابَ شَيْئًا سِوَى ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ غَالٌّ أَوْ سَارِقٌ
Sayyiduna Mustawrid bin Shaddad (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever is appointed over our affairs, and if he does not have a house, he should acquire a house; if he does not have a wife, he should get married; if he does not have a servant, he should buy a servant; and if he does not have a mount, he should acquire a mount. But if he takes anything beyond this, he will be considered a betrayer and a thief.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … From this hadith, it is understood that a person who is engaged in matters related to the welfare of the Muslims may fulfill his needs from their wealth, such as (expenses for) a wife, servant, house, or means of transport, etc. However, in this regard, these facilities should be availed according to the permission granted by the government or private institution, as is established from the next blessed hadith. Otherwise, that employee will be deemed treacherous and deceitful.
