919 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا ابْنُ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: اسْتَعْمَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ عَلَي الصَّدَقَةَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: «اتَّقِ يَا أَبَا الْوَلِيدِ أَنْ تَأْتِيَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِبَعِيرٍ تَحْمِلُهُ عَلَي رَقَبَتِكَ لَهُ رُغَاءٌ، أَوْ بَقَرَةٌ لَهَا خُوارٌ، أَوْ شَاةٌ لَهَا ثُؤَاجٌ» ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّ ذَا لِكَذَا؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ» ، قَالَ عُبَادَةُ: فَوَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَا أَعْمَلُ عَمَلًا عَلَي اثْنَيْنِ أَبَدًا
The son of Tawus narrates from his father: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) appointed Sayyiduna Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) as an official to collect Zakat, then the Prophet (peace be upon him) said to him: "O Abu Walid! Try to avoid coming on the Day of Resurrection carrying a camel on your neck which is making noise, or carrying a cow on your neck which is mooing, or carrying a goat on your neck which is bleating." He said: O Messenger of Allah! Will it really be like that? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Yes." Sayyiduna Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: By the One Who sent you with the truth, I will never again do (government work) even for two people.
