حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبِي أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَطَائٍ مَوْلَی عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ زِيَادًا أَوْ بَعْضَ الْأُمَرَائِ بَعَثَ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ عَلَی الصَّدَقَةِ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ قَالَ لِعِمْرَانَ أَيْنَ الْمَالُ قَالَ وَلِلْمَالِ أَرْسَلْتَنِي أَخَذْنَاهَا مِنْ حَيْثُ کُنَّا نَأْخُذُهَا عَلَی عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَوَضَعْنَاهَا حَيْثُ کُنَّا نَضَعُهَا عَلَی عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1625
Ibrahim ibn Ata, the client of Imran ibn Husayn, reported on the authority of his father: Ziyad, or some other governor, sent Imran ibn Husayn to collect sadaqah (i. e. zakat). When he returned, he asked Imran: Where is the property? He replied: Did you send me to bring the property? We collected it from where we used to collect in the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and we spent it where we used to spend during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
