Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35780 — Reports on stealing from the spoils

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Adi bin Amirah al-Kindi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O people! Whoever among you becomes a governor or official for us in any matter and then conceals from us a needle or anything larger, that is misappropriation, and he will come with it on the Day of Resurrection." A black man of the Ansar stood up, as if I can see him now, and said: O Messenger of Allah! Take back from me your appointment of me as your official. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "For what reason?" He replied: I have heard from you what you (peace and blessings be upon him) have just said; that is the reason. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I say it even now: whoever among you is appointed as an official over any matter must bring to us whatever there is, little or much. What he is given, he may take, and what he is forbidden, he must refrain from."
