حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَهْمِ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ بَعَثَنِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَاعِيًا ثُمَّ قَالَ انْطَلِقْ أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ وَلَا أُلْفِيَنَّکَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ تَجِيئُ وَعَلَی ظَهْرِکَ بَعِيرٌ مِنْ إِبِلِ الصَّدَقَةِ لَهُ رُغَائٌ قَدْ غَلَلْتَهُ قَالَ إِذًا لَا أَنْطَلِقُ قَالَ إِذًا لَا أُکْرِهُکَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2947
Narrated Abu Masud al-Ansari: The Prophet ﷺ appointed me to collect sadaqah and then said: Go, Abu Masud, I should not find you on the Day of Judgment carrying a camel of sadaqah on your back, which rumbles, the one you have taken by unfaithful dealing in sadaqah. He said: If it is so, I will not go. He said: Then I do not force you.
