وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَفْصٍ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ اسْتَعْمَلَ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُسَلِّمَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِيَّاكَ يَا سَعْدُ أَنْ تَجِيءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ تَحْمِلُ عَلَى عُنُقِكَ بَعِيرًا لَهُ رُغَاءٌ . فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، فَإِنْ فَعَلْتُ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَكَائِنٌ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ . قَالَ : قَدْ عَلِمْتَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ أَنِّي أُسْأَلُ فَأُعْطِي فَأَعْفِنِي ، فَأَعْفَاهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) as an 'amil (to collect zakah and charity). So he came into the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to greet him, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O Sa'd! Beware (of betrayal), lest you come on the Day of Resurrection carrying on your neck a camel that is groaning." He said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! If I do that, is such an end certain?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." He said: "O Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! You know well that whenever I am asked for something, I give it (out of generosity), so excuse me (from this office)." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) excused (relieved) him.
Imam Abu Ya'la al-Mawsili (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Abdullah bin Abd al-Samad narrated to us, from Muhammad bin Humayd, he from Isma'il, he from Ubaydullah bin Umar bin Hafs, he from Nafi', and he through Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), this narration from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
