[Machine] The Messenger of Allah sent to us Al-Walid ibn 'Uqbah ibn Abi Mu'ayt to collect our charity funds. He traveled until he was close to us, after the Battle of Al-Muraysi', then he returned. We followed him and came to the Prophet ﷺ . Al-Walid said, "O Messenger of Allah, I came to a people during their pre-Islamic era, they took their garments and prevented giving charity. The Prophet ﷺ did not change that until the verse was revealed: "O you who have believed, if there comes to you a disobedient one with information" [Quran 49:6]. Then some of the Musterers came to the Prophet ﷺ with a part of their charity that they were driving and the expenses they were carrying. They mentioned this to him and that they had gone out seeking Al-Walid with their charity, but did not find him, so they handed over to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ what they had with them and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we have heard about the departure of your messenger, so we followed him and thought we would meet him, but when we got news of his return, we were afraid that his anger would be upon us." They offered to buy from him what was left of their charity, but the Prophet ﷺ accepted their obligatory charity and said, "Take back your expenses. We do not sell anything from the charity until we receive it." So, they returned to their families, and the Prophet ﷺ sent someone to collect the rest of their charity.
