Hadith 1780
وَعَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ عُمَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنِ اسْتَعْمَلْنَاهُ مِنْكُم على عمر فَكَتَمَنَا مِخْيَطًا فَمَا فَوْقَهُ كَانَ غُلُولًا يَأْتِي بِهِ يَوْم الْقِيَامَة» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
‘Adi b. ‘Amira reported God’s messenger as saying, "If I appoint any of you to deal with a matter and he conceals from me a needle and what is above that, it is dishonesty, and he will bring it on the day of resurrection.” * Muslim transmitted it. * Quran 3:161.
