It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hibban bin Buhh al-Suda'i (may Allah be pleased with him), who was a Companion of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that it was said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that my people (Banu Suda') had become disbelievers, and I was informed that he (peace and blessings be upon him) had prepared an army to send against them. So I came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said that my people were firm upon Islam. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Is it really so?" I said: Yes. He says: Then I stayed with him (peace and blessings be upon him) that night until morning. When morning came I gave the call to prayer, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me a vessel in which I performed ablution. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his fingers in that vessel, and springs of water gushed forth (from his blessed fingers (peace and blessings be upon him)). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever of you wishes to perform ablution, let him perform ablution." So I performed ablution and prayed. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed me as the leader of my people and entrusted me with the collection of their charity. Meanwhile a man stood up before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said that so-and-so had wronged him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no good in leadership and authority for a Muslim man." Then another man came and asked for charity, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Charity is a headache, a burning in the belly and a disease." (On hearing this) I returned both my documents to him (peace and blessings be upon him), that is, the documents of my leadership and of the collection of charity. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is the matter with you?" I said: How can I accept it when I have heard from your blessed tongue the (warning) that I have just heard? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The truth is what you have heard."
This hadith is found in Musnad al-Harith (Bughyat al-Bahith); its chain contains the narrator Ibn Lahi'ah, who is weak; however, some parts of it are also narrated through other routes in other hadith books such as Sunan Abi Dawud and Ibn Majah.
