Hadith 6926
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah never sends a prophet or gives the Caliphate to a Caliph but that he (the
prophet or the Caliph) has two groups of advisors: A group advising him to do good and exhorts him
to do it, and the other group advising him to do evil and exhorts him to do it. But the protected person
(against such evil advisors) is the one protected by Allah.' "
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 93, Hadith 59

The Prophet (ﷺ) employed Ibn Al-Utbiyya to collect Zakat from Bani Sulaim, and when he returned (with
the money) to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) the Prophet (ﷺ) called him to account, and he said, "This (amount) is for
you, and this was given to me as a present." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Why don't you stay at your father's
house or your mother's house to see whether you will be given gifts or not, if you are telling the
truth?" Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up and addressed the people, and after glorifying and praising
Allah, he said: Amma Ba'du (then after) I employ some men from among you for some job which
Allah has placed in my charge, and then one of you comes to me and says, 'This (amount) is for you
and this is a gift given to me.' Why doesn't he stay at the house of his father or the house of his mother
and see whether he will be given gifts or not if he was telling the truth by Allah, none of you takes
anything of it (i.e., Zakat) for himself (Hisham added: unlawfully) but he will meet Allah on the Day
of Resurrection carrying it on his neck! I do not want to see any of you carrying a grunting camel or a
mooing cow or a bleating sheep on meeting Allah." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) raised both his hands till I saw
the whiteness of his armpits, and said, "(No doubt)! Haven't I conveyed Allah's Message!" Sahih al-Bukhari Book 93, Hadith 58

We gave the oath of allegiance to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that we would listen to and obey him both at the
time when we were active and at the time when we were tired and that we would not fight against the
ruler or disobey him, and would stand firm for the truth or say the truth wherever we might be, and in
the Way of Allah we would not be afraid of the blame of the blamers. (See Hadith No. 178 and 320) Sahih al-Bukhari Book 93, Hadith 60
