حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَابْنُ أَبِي خَلَفٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لفظه قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَعْمَلَ رَجُلًا مِنْ الأَزْدِ يُقَالُ لَهُ ابْنُ اللُّتْبِيَّةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ ابْنُ السَّرْحِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ابْنُ الأُتْبِيَّةِ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا لَكُمْ وَهَذَا أُهْدِيَ لِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا بَالُ الْعَامِلِ نَبْعَثُهُ فَيَجِيءُ فَيَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا لَكُمْ وَهَذَا أُهْدِيَ لِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَلَا جَلَسَ فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّهِ أَوْ أَبِيهِ فَيَنْظُرَ أَيُهْدَى لَهُ أَمْ لَا ؟ لَا يَأْتِي أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا جَاءَ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنْ كَانَ بَعِيرًا فَلَهُ رُغَاءٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ بَقَرَةً فَلَهَا خُوَارٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ شَاةً تَيْعَرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا عُفْرَةَ إِبِطَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ .

The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم appointed a man of Azd called Ibn al-Lutbiyayah (to collect sadaqah). The narrator Ibn al-Sarh said: (He appointed) Ibn al-Utbiyyah to collect the sadaqah. When he returned he said: This is for you and this was given to me as present. So the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم stood on the pulpit, and after praising and extolling Allah he said: What is the matter with a collector of sadaqah. We send him (to collect sadaqah), and when he return he says: This is for you and this is a present which was given to me. Why did he not sit in his father's or mother's house and see whether it would be given to him or not ? Whoever takes any of it will inevitably bring it on the Day of Resurrection, be it a camel which rumbles, an ox which bellows, or sheep which-bleats. Then raising his arms so that we could see where the hair grow under his armpits, he said: O Allah, have I given full information ? O Allah, have I given full information ?
