Explanation of the Book of Fitnahs and Rulings-10b

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Muhammad narrated to us, 'Abdah narrated to us, Hisham ibn 'Urwah narrated to us from his father from Abu Hamid al-Sa'idi:
That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Ibn al-Atibi to collect the alms of Banu Sulaym. When he came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and he audited him, he said: "This is what belongs to you, and this is a gift that was given to me." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why did you not sit in your father's and mother's house until your gift came to you, if you were truthful?" Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and addressed the people, praising Allah and extolling Him, then he said: "As for what follows, I appoint men from among you to matters of what Allah has entrusted to me. One of you comes and says, 'This is for you, and this is a gift that was given to me.' Why did he not sit in his father's and mother's house until his gift came to him, if he was truthful? By Allah, no one of you will take anything from it—Hisham said: without his right—except that Allah will come carrying it on the Day of Resurrection. Let me know what a man brings to Allah: a camel with a bellow, a cow with a lowing, or a sheep with a bleating." Then he raised his hands until I saw the whiteness of his armpits: "Have I conveyed it?" أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم استعمل ابن الأتبية على صدقات بني سليم فلما جاء إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وحاسبه قال : هذا الذي لكم وهذه هدية أهديت لي ، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : فهلا جلست في بيت أبيك وبيت أمك حتى تأتيك هديتك إن كنت صادقاً ، ثم قام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فخطب الناس وحمد الله وأثنى عليه ثم قال : أما بعد فإني أستعمل رجالاً منكم على أمور مما ولاني الله فيأتي أحدكم فيقول هذا لكم وهذه هدية أهديت لي فهلا جلس في بيت أبيه وبيت أمه حتى تأتيه هديته إن كان صادقاً فوالله لا يأخذ أحدكم منها شيئاً _ قال هشام بغير حقه _ إلا جاء الله يحمله يوم القيامة ألا فلأعرفن ما جاء الله رجل ببعير له رغاء أو ببقرة لها خوار أو شاة تيعر . ثم رفع يديه حتى رأيت بياض إبطيه : ألا هل بلغت
.

The Shaykh : This has passed before us in the gifts to officials, but this context is more complete and comprehensive.
