Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35778 — Reports on stealing from the spoils

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Humayd al-Sa'idi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Sayyiduna Ibn al-Lutbiyyah (may Allah be pleased with him) as an official and said to him: "By the One in whose Hand is my soul, none of you will take anything unjustly except that he will come before Allah on the Day of Resurrection carrying it. Let me not recognise anyone who comes before Allah carrying a camel making its noise, or carrying a cow making its noise, or laden with a goat making its noise." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his blessed hands, raising them so high that I could see the whiteness of his armpits. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah! Have I conveyed the message?" Sayyiduna Abu Humayd said: My eyes saw this scene and my ears heard this message.
