Sunan an-Nasai 863 — Another Chain on Zakat Theft

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 863

This hadith is another chain with a similar report from Abu Rafi. Because the translation says “similar,” the main lesson stays tied to the earlier report: the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم clarified that his words were not aimed at Abu Rafi, but at a man who had been sent to collect zakat and had stolen a Namirah. The hadith about zakat theft highlights the weight of trust when someone is given responsibility over wealth. It also shows that reports may come through more than one chain, while keeping the same message. For readers searching “Abu Rafi hadith zakat collector,” this narration supports the same warning: entrusted wealth must not be taken for personal use.
