Mishkat al-Masabih #1694
Zakat
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ عُمَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنِ اسْتَعْمَلْنَاهُ مِنْكُم على عمر فَكَتَمَنَا مِخْيَطًا فَمَا فَوْقَهُ كَانَ غُلُولًا يَأْتِي بِهِ يَوْم الْقِيَامَة» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
‘Adi b. ‘Amira reported God’s messenger as saying,
"If I appoint any of you to deal with a matter and he conceals from me a needle and what is above that, it is dishonesty, and he will bring it on the day of resurrection.” *
Muslim transmitted it.
* Quran 3:161.
