Majma al-Zawaid 4478 — Tithe collectors, overseers and tax collectors

وَعَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَعَنَ سُهَيْلًا - ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ - فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يُعَشِّرُ النَّاسَ ، فَمَسَخَهُ اللَّهُ شِهَابًا " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَفِيهِ جَابِرُ الْجُعْفِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ كَلَامٌ كَثِيرٌ ، وَقَدْ وَثَّقَهُ شُعْبَةُ ، وَسُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ .
Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed Suhayl three times, because he used to collect the tithe (that is, unlawful tax) from the people, so Allah Almighty transformed him into a shooting star.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Its chain contains a narrator, Jabir al-Ju'fi, about whom there has been much criticism, though Shu'bah and Sufyan al-Thawri declared him thiqah (trustworthy).
