Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a worker is appointed as an official, and he takes what is due and gives what is due, he continues to be like one who strives (does jihad) in the path of Allah until he returns to his home."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Its chain contains a narrator, Dhu'ayb bin Imamah. Al-Dhahabi says: Al-Daraqutni (may Allah have mercy on him) and others declared him da'if (weak), but he was not discarded altogether.
