Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ الْخَصَاصِيَّةِ قَالَ: قُلْنَا: أَنَّ أَهْلَ الصَّدَقَةِ يَعْتَدُونَ عَلَيْنَا أَفَنَكْتُمُ مِنْ أَمْوَالِنَا بِقَدْرِ مَا يَعْتَدُونَ؟ قَالَ: «لَا» رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد

Translation

Bashir ibn al-Khasasiyya said: We said, ‘The alms collectors exceed what is due against us. May we conceal from our wealth an amount equal to what they take in excess?’ He replied, ‘No.’ Abu Dawud transmitted it.
