There came people from among the Bedouins to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Collectors of Sadaqa come to us and treat us unjustly. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Please your collectors. Jarir said: Ever since I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ no collector had departed but was pleased with me.

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.”
