حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُرْوَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيُّ، قَالَ اسْتَعْمَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلاً مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ ابْنُ الأُتَبِيَّةِ عَلَى صَدَقَةٍ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ قَالَ هَذَا لَكُمْ وَهَذَا أُهْدِيَ لِي. فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ـ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ أَيْضًا فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ ـ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ " مَا بَالُ الْعَامِلِ نَبْعَثُهُ، فَيَأْتِي يَقُولُ هَذَا لَكَ وَهَذَا لِي. فَهَلاَّ جَلَسَ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ فَيَنْظُرُ أَيُهْدَى لَهُ أَمْ لاَ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لاَ يَأْتِي بِشَىْءٍ إِلاَّ جَاءَ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَحْمِلُهُ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ، إِنْ كَانَ بَعِيرًا لَهُ رُغَاءٌ، أَوْ بَقَرَةً لَهَا خُوَارٌ، أَوْ شَاةً تَيْعَرُ ". ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا عُفْرَتَىْ إِبْطَيْهِ " أَلاَ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ " ثَلاَثًا. قَالَ سُفْيَانُ قَصَّهُ عَلَيْنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ. وَزَادَ هِشَامٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ سَمِعَ أُذُنَاىَ وَأَبْصَرَتْهُ عَيْنِي، وَسَلُوا زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ فَإِنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ مَعِي. وَلَمْ يَقُلِ الزُّهْرِيُّ سَمِعَ أُذُنِي. {خُوَارٌ} صَوْتٌ، وَالْجُؤَارُ مِنْ تَجْأَرُونَ كَصَوْتِ الْبَقَرَةِ.
Abū Ḥumayd al-Sāʿidī said: The Prophet appointed a man from Banū Asad, called Ibn al-Utbiyya, to collect alms. When he returned, he said, “This is for you, and this was given to me as a gift.” The Prophet stood on the pulpit—Sufyān also said that he ascended the pulpit—praised God, and said:
“What is the matter with a collector whom we send out, who returns and says, ‘This is for you, and this is for me’? Why did he not sit in his father’s and mother’s house and see whether he would be given a gift or not? By the One in whose hand is my soul, he will bring whatever he took on the Day of Resurrection, carrying it on his neck: if it is a camel, it will grunt; if a cow, it will low; and if a sheep, it will bleat.”
Then he raised his hands until we saw the whiteness of his armpits and said three times, “Have I conveyed the message?”
Sufyān said: Al-Zuhrī related it to us. Hishām added, from his father, from Abū Ḥumayd: “My ears heard it and my eyes saw it. Ask Zayd ibn Thābit, for he heard it with me.” Al-Zuhrī did not say, “My ears heard it.”
“Khuwār” means a sound; “juʾār,” from “you cry out,” is like the sound of a cow.
Translation notes
The source distinguishes what the collector delivered from what he claimed was a personal gift. The animal cries are rendered using the source’s final gloss: a camel grunts, a cow lows, and a sheep bleats. The closing first-person witnessing statement is a variant attributed to Hishām, and the source notes that al-Zuhrī’s version omitted “my ears heard it.”
