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.  

جَاءَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الأَعْرَابِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا إِنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الْمُصَدِّقِينَ يَأْتُونَنَا فَيَظْلِمُونَنَا قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ارْضُوا مُصَدِّقِيكُمْ قَالَ جَرِيرٌ مَا صَدَرَ عَنِّي مُصَدِّقٌ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلاَّ وَهُوَ عَنِّي رَاضٍ  

"Jarir said: 'Some Bedouin people came to the Prephet and said: O Messenger of Allah, some of your Zakah collectors come to us and they are unfair. He said: Keep your Zakah collectors happy. They said: Even if they are unfair? He said: Keep your Zakah collectors happy. Then they said: Even if they are unfair. He said: Keep your Zakah collectors happy. Jarir said: No Zakah collector left me, since I heard this from the Messenger of Allah but he was pleased with me."[1]  

جَرِيرٌ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَاسٌ مِنَ الأَعْرَابِ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَأْتِينَا نَاسٌ مِنْ مُصَدِّقِيكَ يَظْلِمُونَ قَالَ أَرْضُوا مُصَدِّقِيكُمْ قَالُوا وَإِنْ ظَلَمَ قَالَ أَرْضُوا مُصَدِّقِيكُمْ ثُمَّ قَالُوا وَإِنْ ظَلَمَ قَالَ أَرْضُوا مُصَدِّقِيكُمْ قَالَ جَرِيرٌ فَمَا صَدَرَ عَنِّي مُصَدِّقٌ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلاَّ وَهُوَ رَاضٍ  

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

وَأَتَاهُ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ فَقَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ يَأْتِينَا نَاسٌ مِنْ مُصَدِّقِيكَ يَظْلِمُونَا قَالَ أَرْضُوا مُصَدِّقَكُمْ قَالُوا وَإِنْ ظَلَمَ قَالَ أَرْضُوا مُصَدِّقَكُمْ قَالَ جَرِيرٌ فَمَا صَدَرَ عَنِّي مُصَدِّقٌ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَّا وَهُوَ عَنِّي رَاضٍ
