وحَدَّثَنَاه إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ ذَكْوَانَ وَهُوَ أَبُو الزِّنَادِ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَعْمَلَ رَجُلًا عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ ، فَجَاءَ بِسَوَادٍ كَثِيرٍ ، فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ هَذَا لَكُمْ وَهَذَا أُهْدِيَ إِلَيَّ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ ، قَالَ عُرْوَةُ : فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ : أَسَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : مِنْ فِيهِ إِلَى أُذُنِي .
It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Humaid as-Sa'idi that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) appointed a man in charge of Sadaqa (authorising him to receive charity from the people on behalf of the State). He came (back to the Holy prophet) with a large number of things and started saying: This is for you and this has been presented to me as a gift. Here follows the tradition that has gone before except that 'Urwa (one of the narrators in the chain of transmitters) asked Abu Humaid: Did you hear it from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (himself) (ﷺ) ? He replied: My ears heard it from his mouth.
