أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ، قَالَ قَالَ جَرِيرٌ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَاسٌ مِنَ الأَعْرَابِ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَأْتِينَا نَاسٌ مِنْ مُصَدِّقِيكَ يَظْلِمُونَ . قَالَ " أَرْضُوا مُصَدِّقِيكُمْ " . قَالُوا وَإِنْ ظَلَمَ قَالَ " أَرْضُوا مُصَدِّقِيكُمْ " . ثُمَّ قَالُوا وَإِنْ ظَلَمَ قَالَ " أَرْضُوا مُصَدِّقِيكُمْ " . قَالَ جَرِيرٌ فَمَا صَدَرَ عَنِّي مُصَدِّقٌ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلاَّ وَهُوَ رَاضٍ .
Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna and Muhammad ibn Bashshar reported—the wording is his: Both said: Yahya narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Abi Ismail, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Hilal. He said: Jarir said: Some Bedouins came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah, people from among your zakah collectors come to us and treat us unjustly. He said: Satisfy your collectors. They said: Even if they act unjustly? He said: Satisfy your collectors. They said again: Even if they act unjustly? He said: Satisfy your collectors. Jarir said: Ever since I heard this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, no collector has departed from me except satisfied.
Translation notes
The Arabic marks Muhammad ibn Bashshar as the source of the wording. The collectors are zakah officials.
