918 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ قَيْسًا، يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنِي عَدِيُّ بْنُ عُمَيْرَةَ الْكِنْدِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولَ: «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنِ اسْتَعْمَلْنَاهُ مِنْكُمْ عَلَي عَمَلٍ فَلْيَأَتِ بِقَلِيلِهِ وَكَثِيرِهِ، فَمَنْ كَتَمَنَا خَيْطًا أَوْ مِخْيَطًا فَمَا سِوَاهُ، فَهُوَ غُلُولٌ يَأْتِي بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» ، فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَسْوَدُ قَصِيرٌ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، اقْبَلْ مِنِّي عَمَلَكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَمَا ذَاكَ؟» ، قَالَ: الَّذِي قُلتَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَأَنَا أَقُولُ الْآنَ مَنِ اسْتَعْمَلْنَاهُ مِنْكُمْ عَلَي عَمَلٍ فَلْيَأْتِ بِقَلِيلِهِ وَكَثِيرِهِ، فَمَا أُوتِيَ مِنْهُ أَخَذَ، وَمَا نُهِيَ عَنْهُ انْتَهَي»
Sayyiduna ‘Adi bin ‘Umayrah al-Kindi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: “O people! Whomever among you we appoint as an official for any task, let him bring whatever he receives, whether little or much. Whoever conceals from us anything, even a thread or a needle or anything beyond that, it will be an act of betrayal, and he will bring it with him on the Day of Resurrection.” A short-statured, dark-skinned man from among the Ansar stood up—his image is as if before my eyes even now. He said: O Messenger of Allah! I withdraw from the task for which you appointed me as an official. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: “Why?” He replied: Because of what you have just said. So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Even now I say: Whomever among you we appoint as an official for any task, let him bring everything, whether little or much. Let him take what is given to him, and refrain from what is withheld from him.”

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit:
From this hadith, it is understood that betrayal of trust (khiyanah) is a very grave crime, and whoever commits betrayal in trust in this world will bring that betrayal with him on the Day of Judgment. Furthermore, this hadith contains a great admonition for those emissaries who embezzle money, take something from people, and inform the administration of the madrasahs of something else. A person should always be concerned about the Hereafter and should not destroy his Hereafter for the sake of worldly objectives. Disgrace in the Hereafter is the greatest disgrace. May Allah protect us from disgrace in the Hereafter, ameen.
Regrettably, we are witnessing that in all governmental and non-governmental institutions, betrayal is being committed in financial matters. May Allah grant everyone His fear, and protect us from dishonesty in monetary dealings, ameen.

Benefits and Issues:
Benefit: The responsibility of all national and collective affairs is extremely important.
This also includes the responsibility of revenues.
Even the slightest negligence or shortcoming in this regard becomes a cause of ruin for a person in the Hereafter.
If someone holding such responsibilities receives gifts, presents, or other benefits from anywhere,
then these are not lawful (halal) for him.
All such items must be deposited in the treasury.
Furthermore, it is also obligatory upon the supreme authority (ruler) to keep reminding his subjects of their responsibilities,
and to remind them of their accountability before Allah in the Hereafter,
and he himself should also remain alert and cautious.
