Hadith of 'Adi ibn 'Amirah (RA)

حديث عدي بن عميرة الكندي

Hadith 536:8

Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, he said: Shu'bah narrated to us, from Isma'il, he said: I heard Qays narrating from 'Adi ibn 'Amirah, from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that he said: "Whoever we appoint from among you to a task, and he conceals from us even a needle, it is a misappropriation (ghulul) which he will bring on the Day of Resurrection." A man from the people, dark-skinned and tall, from the Ansar, stood up and said: "I have no need for your task." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to him: "Why?" He said: "I heard you just now saying [that]." He said: "And I say it now: Whoever we appoint from among you to a task, let him bring its little and its much. Whatever he is given of it, he shall take, and whatever he is forbidden from, he shall refrain."

حدثنا محمد بن جعفر، قال: حدثنا شعبة ، عن إسماعيل، قال: سمعت قيسا، يحدث عن عدي بن عميرة، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال: " من استعملناه منكم على عمل فكتمنا مخيطا، فهو غل يأتي به يوم القيامة "، فقام رجل من القوم آدم طوال من الأنصار، فقال: لا حاجة لي في عملك، فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " لم؟ " قال : إني سمعتك آنفا تقول، قال: " وأنا أقول الآن، من استعملناه منكم على عمل، فليأت بقليله وكثيره، فإن أتي بشيء أخذه، وإن نهي عنه انتهى "
