Hadith 5742

عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ الْكِنْدِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنْ عَمِلَ مِنْكُمْ لَنَا عَلَى عَمَلٍ فَكَتَمَنَا مِنْهُ مِخْيَطًا فَمَا فَوْقَهُ فَهُوَ غُلٌّ يَأْتِي بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَسْوَدُ قَالَ مُجَالِدٌ هُوَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اقْبَلْ عَنِّي عَمَلَكَ وَفِي لَفْظٍ لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِي عَمَلِكَ فَقَالَ وَمَا ذَاكَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ ذَلِكَ الْآنَ مَنِ اسْتَعْمَلْنَاهُ عَلَى عَمَلٍ فَلْيَجِئْ بِقَلِيلِهِ وَكَثِيرِهِ فَمَا أُوتِيَ مِنْهُ أَخَذَ وَمَا نُهِيَ عَنْهُ انْتَهَى
It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Adi bin ‘Amirah Kindi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: O people! Whoever among you is appointed over our work and he hides a needle or anything more than that, then he is committing a betrayal, and on the Day of Resurrection, he will bring it with him. A man of black complexion stood up—his name was Sa‘d bin ‘Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him)—the narrator says it is as if I am still seeing him in that state, and he said: O Messenger of Allah! Take this position back from me, I have no need for it. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: What is the reason for this? He said: I have heard you say such strict things about it. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: I still say that whoever we assign any responsibility to, he should present everything before us, whether little or much. Then whatever is given to him, he should take, and from whatever he is withheld, he should refrain.
