English

[4743] 30 – (1833) It was narrated that 'Adiyy bin 'AmIrah Al-KindI said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'Whomever we appoint of you to do any task, and he conceals a needle or more, it is stolen spoils of war (Ghuluul) that he will bring on the Day of Resurrection.' A black man from among the Anâr stood up – it is as if I can see him now – and he said: '0 Messenger of Allah, take back from me your assignment.' He said: 'Why are you saying that?' He said: 'I heard you saying such and such.' He () said: 'And I say it now. Whoever among you is appointed to do any task, let him bring everything, small or large, and whatever is given to him, let him take it, but whatever is forbidden to him, let him refrain."
