Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 11075 — Two governors seeking the zakah

Hayyan al-Sulami said: I asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): The zakah collectors of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) come to me and collect zakah from my wealth, and the collectors of Najdah come and they (also) collect it. (What should I do?) He said: Whichever of them you pay it to, it suffices on your behalf.
