9/6. Chapter:
On Pleasing The Collector Of Zakat
Sunan Abi Dawud
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ الصَّدَقَةِ يَعْتَدُونَ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَفَعَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ .
The aforesaid tradition has also been narrated by Ayyub through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. This version adds We said Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) the collectors of sadaqah collect more than is due from us. Abu Dawud said ‘Abd Al Razzaq narrated this tradition from Ma’mar attributing it to the Prophet(ﷺ).
