It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man from the Ansar came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "You have commanded us to give the zakah, that is, the charity of breaking the fast (sadaqat al-fitr), and we give it. So what about us if we find rulers who do not spend it in its proper places?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give it to your rulers, for they will be held to account for it."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Salim except al-Hakam bin Abdullah bin Qays bin Makhramah, and al-Layth is alone in narrating it."
