Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Take charge of collecting the zakah of Banu so-and-so, and be careful that it should not happen that when you come on the Day of Resurrection, you are carrying on your neck a camel (here the narrator is unsure about one word) that is making noise." He said: "O Messenger of Allah! Do not give me this duty." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not give him that (responsibility).
Ahmad, al-Bazzar and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy), except that Sa'id bin al-Musayyib did not see Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him).
