Sayyiduna Abu Juhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a man to collect zakat and instructed him to take zakat from the wealthy and distribute it among the poor (of that area). So he ordered that a young she-camel be given to me as well (because I was also among the deserving ones).
