(Ibn Ubayd said in the version of his tradition that his name was not Bashir, but (it was) the Messenger of Allah ﷺ (who had) named him Bashir) We said: (to the Messenger of Allah): The collectors of sadaqah collect more than is due; can we hide our property to that proportion? He replied: "No."  

ابْنُ عُبَيْدٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَمَا كَانَ اسْمُهُ بَشِيرًا وَلَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَمَّاهُ بَشِيرًا قَالَ قُلْنَا إِنَّ أَهْلَ الصَّدَقَةِ يَعْتَدُونَ عَلَيْنَا أَفَنَكْتُمْ مِنْ أَمْوَالِنَا بِقَدْرِ مَا يَعْتَدُونَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ لاَ  

The aforesaid tradition has also been narrated by Ayyub through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. This version adds We said Messenger of Allah ﷺ the collectors of sadaqah collect more than is due from us. Abu Dawud said ‘Abd Al Razzaq narrated this tradition from Ma’mar attributing it to the Prophet ﷺ.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ الصَّدَقَةِ يَعْتَدُونَ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Riders who are objects of dislike to you will come to you, but you must welcome them when they come to you, and give them a free hand regarding what they desire. If they are just, they will receive credit for it, but if they are unjust, they will be held responsible. Please them, for the perfection of your zakat consists in their good pleasure, and let them ask a blessing for you . Abu Dawud said: The name of the narrator Abu al-Ghusn is Thabit bin Qais bin Ghusn.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ سَيَأْتِيكُمْ رَكْبٌ مُبَغَّضُونَ فَإِذَا جَاءُوكُمْ فَرَحِّبُوا بِهِمْ وَخَلُّوا بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ مَا يَبْتَغُونَ فَإِنْ عَدَلُوا فَلأَنْفُسِهِمْ وَإِنْ ظَلَمُوا فَعَلَيْهَا وَأَرْضُوهُمْ فَإِنَّ تَمَامَ زَكَاتِكُمْ رِضَاهُمْ وَلْيَدْعُوا لَكُمْ  

Jabir bin ‘Abdallah told of some people, meaning nomadic Arabs, who came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said Collectors of zakat come to us and act unjustly. He said please those who collect the sadaqah from you. They asked Even if they wrong us, Messenger of Allah? He replied Please those who collect sadaqah from you. The version of ‘Uthman adds “Even if you are wronged”. Abu Kamil said in this version “Jarir said No collector of zakat returned from me since I heard this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but he was pleased with me.”  

جَاءَ نَاسٌ يَعْنِي مِنَ الأَعْرَابِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا إِنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الْمُصَدِّقِينَ يَأْتُونَا فَيَظْلِمُونَا قَالَ فَقَالَ أَرْضُوا مُصَدِّقِيكُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ ظَلَمُونَا قَالَ أَرْضُوا مُصَدِّقِيكُمْ زَادَ عُثْمَانُ وَإِنْ ظُلِمْتُمْ قَالَ أَبُو كَامِلٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ جَرِيرٌ مَا صَدَرَ عَنِّي مُصَدِّقٌ بَعْدَ مَا سَمِعْتُ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلاَّ وَهُوَ عَنِّي رَاضٍ
