The Prophet ﷺ appointed me to collect sadaqah and then said: Go, AbuMas'ud, I should not find you on the Day of Judgment carrying a camel of sadaqah on your back, which rumbles, the one you have taken by unfaithful dealing in sadaqah. He said: If it is so, I will not go. He said: Then I do not force you.  

أبو داود:٢٩٤٧ – حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَهْمِ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ

بَعَثَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَاعِيًا ثُمَّ قَالَ انْطَلِقْ أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ وَلاَ أُلْفِيَنَّكَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ تَجِيءُ عَلَى ظَهْرِكَ بَعِيرٌ مِنْ إِبِلِ الصَّدَقَةِ لَهُ رُغَاءٌ قَدْ غَلَلْتَهُ قَالَ إِذًا لاَ أَنْطَلِقُ قَالَ إِذًا لاَ أُكْرِهُكَ

[Machine] That when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him as a messenger, he said, "Look, Abu Mas'ud, I will not give you anything so that you come on the Day of Resurrection with a camel on your back that has its hump from the camels of charity that you have donated." He said, "I will not move in this manner." He said, "In that case, I will not compel you."
