Chapter: Embezzlement in Charity and the Warning for Those Who Do It
Hadith 3495
عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحُبَابِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أُنَيْسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُمْ تَذَاكَرُوا هُوَ وَعُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَوْمًا الصَّدَقَةَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ ذَكَرَ غُلُولَ الصَّدَقَةِ، أَنَّهُ مَنْ غَلَّ فِيهَا بِبَعِيرٍ أَوْ شَاةٍ، أَتَى بِهِ يَحْمِلُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُنَيْسٍ: بَلَى
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Anis (may Allah be pleased with him) says: One day there was a discussion between me and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding charity. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Did you not hear from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that when he mentioned betrayal in charity, he also said at that time: Whoever betrays in the wealth of charity, even if it is a camel or a goat, he will bring it on the Day of Resurrection carrying it? Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Anis (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Yes, absolutely.
Hadith 3496
عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: اسْتَعْمَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَزْدِ، يُقَالُ لَهُ ابْنُ اللُّتْبِيَّةِ، عَلَى صَدَقَةٍ فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ: هَذَا لَكُمْ وَهَذَا أُهْدِيَ إِلَيَّ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، فَقَالَ: ((مَا بَالُ الْعَامِلِ نَبْعَثُهُ فَيَجِيءُ، فَيَقُولُ هَذَا لَكُمْ وَهَذَا أُهْدِيَ إِلَيَّ، أَفَلَا جَلَسَ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ فَيَنْظُرَ أَيُهْدَى إِلَيْهِ أَمْ لَا، وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ! لَا يَأْتِي أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مِنْهَا بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا جَاءَ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ إِنَ كَانَ بَعِيرًا لَهُ رُغَاءٌ أَوْ بَقَرَةً لَهَا خُوَارٌ أَوْ شَاةٌ تَيْعِرُ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا عُفْرَةَ يَدَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ ثَلَاثًا، وَزَادَ هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ سَمِعَتْ أُذُنِي وَأَبْصَرَتْ عَيْنِي وَسَلُوا زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ))
Sayyiduna Abu Humayd Sa‘idi (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed a man from Banu Asad, Ibn Lutbiyyah, as a collector of charity. When he returned, he said: “This is for you, and this was given to me as a gift.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Why did he not sit in his mother’s or father’s house and see whether he would be given a gift or not? By the One in whose hand is the life of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! Whoever among you commits dishonesty in charity will come on the Day of Resurrection carrying it on his neck: if it is a camel, it will be groaning; if it is a cow, it will be mooing; and if it is a goat, it will be bleating.” After that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his hands so high that we could see the whiteness of his armpits, then he said: “O Allah! Have I conveyed the message to the people?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said this three times. (After narrating this hadith) Sayyiduna Abu Humayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “My ears heard this hadith and my eyes saw it, but still, you may ask Sayyiduna Zayd ibn Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) as well.”
Hadith 3497
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((هَدَايَا الْعُمَّالِ غُلُولٌ))
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Humayd (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Gifts given to zakat collectors are acts of dishonesty.
Hadith 3498
عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ (مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ) قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ رُبَمَا ذَهَبَ إِلَى بَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ فَيَتَحَدَّثُ حَتَّى يَنْحَدِرَ لِلْمَغْرِبِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَبُو رَافِعٍ فَبَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُسْرِعًا إِلَى الْمَغْرِبِ إِذْ مَرَّ بِالْبَقِيعِ، فَقَالَ: ((أُفٍّ لَكَ، أُفٍّ لَكَ)) مَرَّتَيْنِ فَكَبُرَ فِي ذَرْعِي، وَتَأَخَّرْتُ وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُنِي، فَقَالَ: ((مَا لَكَ؟ امْشِ))، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أَحْدَثْتُ حَدَثًا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! قَالَ: ((وَمَا ذَاكَ؟)) قُلْتُ: أَفَّفْتَ بِي، قَالَ: ((لَا، وَلَكِنْ هَذَا قَبْرُ فُلَانٍ بَعَثْتُهُ سَاعِيًا عَلَى بَنِي فُلَانَ فَغَلَّ نَمِرَةً، فَدُرِّعَ الْآنَ مِثْلُهَا مِنْ نَارٍ))
Mawla-e-Rasool Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) says: It was the practice of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that after the ‘Asr prayer, he would go to the people of Banu ‘Abd al-Ashhal and remain engaged in conversation there until sunset. Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Once, after finishing there, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was hurrying for Maghrib, when, while passing by Baqi’, he began to say: “Woe to you, woe to you.” I thought that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying these words to me, so this weighed heavily on my heart and I began to fall back. But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: “What has happened to you? Come forward.” I said: “O Messenger of Allah! Have I committed some sin?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: “What do you mean?” I said: “You were saying ‘woe’ to me.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “No, actually, the matter is that this is the grave of such-and-such a man. I had sent him as a collector of zakat to such-and-such a tribe, and he committed a breach of trust regarding a sheet. Now, he has been made to wear a shirt of fire equal to it.”
Hadith 3499
عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: دَخَلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ يَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ: مَا لَكَ لَا تَدْعُو لِي؟ قَالَ: فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَا يَقْبَلُ صَلَاةً بِغَيْرِ طُهُورٍ وَلَا صَدَقَةً مِنْ غُلُولٍ))، وَقَدْ كُنْتَ عَلَى الْبَصْرَةِ يَعْنِي عَامِلًا
Sayyiduna Mus'ab bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) went to visit Sayyiduna Abdullah bin 'Amir when he was ill. Ibn 'Amir said to Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): "What is the matter, why do you not pray for me?" He replied: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Allah Almighty does not accept prayer without ablution, nor does He accept charity from dishonest wealth. And you have been the governor of Basra (and it is possible that there may have been some irregularity from you)."
Hadith 3500
عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ: ((قُمْ عَلَى صَدَقَةِ بَنِي فُلَانٍ، وَانْظُرْ لَا تَأْتِيَنِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِبَكْرٍ تَحْمِلُهُ عَلَى عَاتِقِكَ أَوْ عَلَى كَاهِلِكَ لَهُ رُغَاءٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ))، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَصْرِفْهَا عَنِّي، فَصَرَفَهَا عَنْهُ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin ‘Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Get up and collect zakat from such-and-such tribe and be careful, lest you come on the Day of Resurrection carrying a camel on your shoulder that is groaning. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! Remove this responsibility from me. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) relieved him of this responsibility.
Hadith 3501
عَنْ سِمَاكِ (بْنِ حَرْبٍ) قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ قَبِيصَةَ بْنَ هُلْبٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَكَرَ الصَّدَقَةَ فَقَالَ: ((لَا يَجِيءَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ بِشَاةٍ لَهَا يُعَارٌ))
Sayyiduna Hilb (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned charity and said: None of you should come on the Day of Resurrection in such a state that a bleating goat is with him.
