Mishkat al-Masabih #1715
Zakat
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْمُعْتَدِي فِي الصَّدَقَةِ كَمَانِعِهَا» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد وَالتِّرْمِذِيّ
Anas reported God’s messenger as saying,
“He who collects more sadaqa than is due is like him who refuses to pay it.” *
Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi transmitted it.
* Meaning that the sin committed by both is similar in its seriousness.
