Majma al-Zawaid 4475 — Tithe collectors, overseers and tax collectors
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا رَأَى سُهَيْلًا قَالَ : لَعَنَ اللَّهُ سُهَيْلًا ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " كَانَ عَشَّارًا مِنْ عَشَّارِي الْيَمَنِ يَظْلِمُهُمْ فَمَسَخَهُ اللَّهُ فَجَعَلَهُ حَيْثُ تَرَوْنَ " .
It is reported about Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that whenever he saw the star called Suhayl, he would say: May Allah Almighty curse Suhayl! I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "He was one of the extortion collectors of Yemen, who used to oppress the people, so Allah Almighty transformed him and placed him where you see him."
