Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35776 — Reports on stealing from the spoils

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up to deliver a sermon to us. He (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned misappropriation and, describing the enormity of this sin, said: "O people! Let none of you come to me on the Day of Resurrection with a camel on his neck, the camel making its noise, and say: 'O Messenger of Allah! Help me,' so that I say to him: 'I have no power over anything for you; I conveyed my message to you.' Let none of you come to me on the Day of Resurrection with a cow on his neck, making the sound of a cow, and say: 'O Messenger of Allah! Help me,' so that I say to him: 'I have no power over anything for you; I had already conveyed the message to you.' Let none of you come to me on the Day of Resurrection with the burden of a misappropriated horse on his neck, with its sound, and say to me: 'O Messenger of Allah! Help me,' so that I say: 'I have no power over anything for you; I had already conveyed my message to you.' Let none of you come to me on the Day of Resurrection with the burden of misappropriated gold or silver on his neck and say: 'O Messenger of Allah! Help me,' for I will say: 'I have no power over anything for you; I have already conveyed the message to you.' And let none of you come to me on the Day of Resurrection with the burden of a misappropriated human being on his neck, with that person's voice, and say to me: 'O Messenger of Allah! Help me,' for I will say: 'I have no power over anything for you; I have already conveyed my message.'"
