Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 4500

وَعَنْ مِينَاءَ أَنَّهُمْ جَاءُوا إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فِي زَمَنِ عُثْمَانَ فَقَالُوا : أَعْطِنَا أُعْطِيَاتِنَا فَقَالَ : مَا لَكَمَ عِنْدِي عَطَاءٌ إِنَّمَا عَطَاؤُكُمْ مِنْ فَيْئِكُمْ وَمِنْ جِزْيَتِكُمْ ، وَالصَّدَقَةُ لِأَهْلِهَا . فَلَمَّا تَرَدَّدُوا إِلَيْهِ جَاءَ بِالْمَفَاتِيحِ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ فَرَمَى بِهَا ، وَقَالَ : إِنِّي لَسْتُ بِخَازِنٍ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ . وَمِينَاءُ فِيهِ كَلَامٌ كَثِيرٌ ، وَقَدْ وَثَّقَهُ ابْنُ حِبَّانَ .
Mina' narrates: Some people came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him); this was during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). They said: "Give us our stipends." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I hold no stipend of yours. Your stipends are paid from the fay' (spoils taken without fighting) and from the jizyah, and the zakah will be given only to those entitled to it." When the people kept coming to him repeatedly, he took the keys to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), put them down before him, and said: "I will not be a treasurer."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. The narrator Mina' has been heavily criticised, and Ibn Hibban declared him thiqah (trustworthy).
