حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ أَبِي الْغُصْنِ عَنْ صَخْرِ بْنِ إِسْحَقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيکٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ سَيَأْتِيکُمْ رُکَيْبٌ مُبْغَضُونَ فَإِنْ جَائُوکُمْ فَرَحِّبُوا بِهِمْ وَخَلُّوا بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ مَا يَبْتَغُونَ فَإِنْ عَدَلُوا فَلِأَنْفُسِهِمْ وَإِنْ ظَلَمُوا فَعَلَيْهَا وَأَرْضُوهُمْ فَإِنَّ تَمَامَ زَکَاتِکُمْ رِضَاهُمْ وَلْيَدْعُوا لَکُمْ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد أَبُو الْغُصْنِ هُوَ ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ غُصْنٍ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1588
Narrated Jabir ibn Atik: The Prophet ﷺ said: Riders who are objects of dislike to you will come to you, but you must welcome them when they come to you, and give them a free hand regarding what they desire. If they are just, they will receive credit for it, but if they are unjust, they will be held responsible. Please them, for the perfection of your zakat consists in their good pleasure, and let them ask a blessing for you. Abu Dawud said: The name of the narrator Abu al-Ghusn is Thabit bin Qais bin Ghusn.
