Qurʾān Bukhārī Muslim Nasāʾī Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Ibn Mājah Mālik Aḥmad Dārimī Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī al-Adab al-Mufrad al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī Misc
abudawud:2783 – Jaʿfar b. Musāfir al-Tinnīsī > Ibn Abū Fudayk > al-Zamʿī > al-Zubayr b. ʿUthmān b. ʿAbdullāh b. Surāqah > Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Thawbān > Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Beware of the wages of a distributor of booty (qusamah). We asked: What is qusamah (wages of a distributor)? He said: It means a thing which is shared by the people, and then it is reduced.  

أبو داود:٢٧٨٣ – حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُسَافِرٍ التِّنِّيسِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ حَدَّثَنَا الزَّمْعِيُّ عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سُرَاقَةَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْقُسَامَةَ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا وَمَا الْقُسَامَةُ قَالَ الشَّىْءُ يَكُونُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فَيَجِيءُ فَيَنْتَقِصُ مِنْهُ
