Mishkat al-Masabih 1783 — If zakat workers oppress
عَن جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: جَاءَ نَاسٌ يَعْنِي مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا: إِنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ المصدقين يَأْتُونَا فيظلمونا قَالَ: فَقَالَ: «أَرْضُوا مُصَدِّقِيكُمْ وَإِنْ ظُلِمْتُمْ» رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ
Jarir b. ‘Abdallah told of some people, meaning nomadic Arabs, who came to God’s messenger and said, “Collectors of sadaqa come to us and act unjustly.” He told them to please the collectors who came to them, and when they asked if they must do so even if they wronged them, he replied, “Please those who collect sadaqa from you, even if you are wronged.” Abu Dawud transmitted it.
