Salim, the freed salve of Abu Hudhaifa used to lead in prayer the early Muhajirin (emigrants) and the
companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) in the Quba mosque. Among those (who used to pray behind him) were
Abu Bakr, `Umar, Abu Salama, and Amir bin Rabi`a.

The Prophet (ﷺ) appointed a man from the tribe of Bani Asad, called Ibn Al-Utabiyya to collect the Zakat.
When he returned (with the money) he said (to the Prophet), "This is for you and this has been given
to me as a gift." The Prophet (ﷺ) stood up on the pulpit (Sufyan said he ascended the pulpit), and after
glorifying and praising Allah, he said, "What is wrong with the employee whom we send (to collect
Zakat from the public) that he returns to say, 'This is for you and that is for me?' Why didn't he stay at
his father's and mother's house to see whether he will be given gifts or not? By Him in Whose Hand
my life is, whoever takes anything illegally will bring it on the Day of Resurrection by carrying it over
his neck: if it is a camel, it will be grunting: if it is a cow, it will be mooing: and if it is a sheep it will
be bleating!" The Prophet (ﷺ) then raised both his hands till we saw the whiteness of his armpits (and he
said), "No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's Message?" And he repeated it three times.

Marwan bin Al-Hakam and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama told him that when the Muslims were permitted
to set free the captives of Hawazin, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "I do not know who amongst you has agreed
(to it) and who has not. Go back so that your 'Urafa' may submit your decision to us." So the people
returned and their 'Urafa' talked to them and then came back to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and told him that the
people had given their consent happily and permitted (their captives to be freed).
