Ubayy bin Kaab reported,

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me as a collector of zakat to the tribes of Bali, Udhrah, and all of Banu Saad, and Hudhaym bin Qudaah. My father said that Yaqub said in another place, "from Qudaah."He said, "I collected the zakat from them until I came to the last man among them, whose dwelling and homeland were among the closest of their dwellings to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Medina. When he gathered his wealth before me, I found that he owed nothing on it except a one-year-old female camel."So I informed him that this was his obligatory charity.He said, "That is a camel that gives no milk and cannot be ridden. By Allah, no Messenger of Allah ﷺ nor any envoy of his has ever come to assess my wealth before you, and I would not lend to Allah from my property an animal that gives no milk and cannot be ridden. But here is a young, fat she-camel, take her instead."I said to him, "I cannot take what I have not been ordered to take. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ is nearby. If you wish to go to him and present to him what you have presented to me, then do so. If he accepts it from you, he accepts it, and if he returns it to you, he returns it."He said, "Then I will do so."He set out with me, taking along the she-camel he had offered me, until we reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.He said to him, "Prophet of Allah, your envoy came to me to take from me the zakat on my wealth. By Allah, no Messenger of Allah ﷺ nor any envoy of his has ever come to assess my wealth before him. So I gathered my wealth for him, and he claimed that I owe a one-year-old female camel, but that is a camel that gives no milk and cannot be ridden. I offered him a young, fat she-camel to take, but he refused. Here she is, I have brought her to you, Messenger of Allah, take her."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "That one-year-old camel is what you owe. But if you offer something better voluntarily, we will accept it from you, and Allah will reward you for it."He said, "Here she is, Messenger of Allah, I have brought her to you, so take her."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then ordered that she be taken, and he prayed for blessing in his wealth.

حدثنا يعقوب حدثنا أبي عن محمد بن إسحاق حدثني عبد الله بن أبي بكر بن محمد بن عمرو بن حزم عن يحيى بن عبد الله بن عبد الرحمن بن سعد بن زرارة عن عمارة بن عمرو بن حزم

عن أبي بن كعب قال

بعثني رسول الله ﷺ مصدقا على بلي وعذرة وجميع بني سعد وهذيم بن قضاعة قال أبي وقال يعقوب في موضع آخر من قضاعة قال فصدقتهم حتى مررت بآخر رجل منهم وكان منزله وبلده من أقرب منازلهم إلى رسول الله ﷺ بالمدينة قال فلما جمع إلي ماله لم أجد عليه فيها إلا ابنة مخاض يعني فأخبرته أنها صدقته قال فقال ذاك ما لا لبن فيه ولا ظهر وايم الله ما قام في مالي رسول الله ﷺ ولا رسول له قط قبلك وما كنت لأقرض الله تبارك وتعالى من مالي ما لا لبن فيه ولا ظهر ولكن هذه ناقة فتية سمينة فخذها قال فقلت له ما أنا بآخذ ما لم أومر به فهذا رسول الله ﷺ منك قريب فإن أحببت أن تأتيه فتعرض عليه ما عرضت علي فافعل فإن قبله منك قبله وإن رده عليك رده قال فإني فاعل قال فخرج معي وخرج بالناقة التي عرض علي حتى قدمنا على رسول الله ﷺ قال فقال له يا نبي الله أتاني رسولك ليأخذ مني صدقة مالي وايم الله ما قام في مالي رسول الله ﷺ ولا رسول له قط قبله فجمعت له مالي فزعم أن علي فيه ابنة مخاض وذلك ما لا لبن فيه ولا ظهر وقد عرضت عليه ناقة فتية سمينة ليأخذها فأبى علي ذلك وقال ها هي هذه قد جئتك بها يا رسول الله خذها قال فقال له رسول الله ﷺ ذلك الذي عليك فإن تطوعت بخير قبلناه منك وآجرك الله فيه قال فها هي ذه يا رسول الله قد جئتك بها فخذها قال فأمر رسول الله ﷺ بقبضها ودعا له في ماله بالبركة
