Sunan Abi DawudHadith Number 2937
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شِمَاسَةَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ صَاحِبُ مَكْسٍ " .
Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: One who wrongfully takes an extra tax (sahib maks) will not enter Paradise.
[1] Here the meaning is the one who collects Zakāt , and it may also be understood to apply to collecting charity in general.[2] One who wrongfully takes what is not due from the people, as in one who institutes or is employed to take an unlawful tax.Reference : Sunan Abi Dawud 2937In-book reference : Book 20, Hadith 10English translation : Book 19, Hadith 2931
