Adi b. ‘Amira reported God’s Messenger as saying,“If any of you people is put in an administrative post on our behalf and conceals from us a needle or more, he is acting unfaithfully and will bring it on the day of resurrection.”One of the Ansar then got up and said,“Messenger of God, take back from me my post.”He asked what that meant and he told him he had heard him say such and such. He replied,“And I say that. If we appoint anyone to an office he must bring what is connected with it, both little and much. What he is given he may take, but he must refrain from what is kept away from him.”Muslim and Abu Dawud transmitted it, the wording being the latter’s.
