Hadith of Ruwayfi' ibn Thabit al-Ansari
Musnad Ahmad 17001 — Hadith of Ruwayfi' ibn Thabit al-Ansari
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ ، قَالَ : عَرَضَ مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ مُخَلَّدٍ وَكَانَ أَمِيرًا عَلَى مِصْرَ عَلَى رُوَيْفِعِ ابْنِ ثَابِتٍ أَنْ يُوَلِّيَهُ الْعُشُورَ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ صَاحِبَ الْمَكْسِ فِي النَّارِ " .
Abu Al-Khair says that Hazrat Muslamah bin Makhlad (may Allah be pleased with him), who was the governor of Egypt, offered Hazrat Ruwaifi' (may Allah be pleased with him) the position of collecting 'ushr (tax), so he said: I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say that the tax collector will be in Hell.
