It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jarir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: Some Bedouins came to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Prophet of Allah! Your representatives for zakat (in the matter of collecting zakat) act unjustly towards us. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You should please them. They said: Even if they act unjustly? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Just please them. Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Since I heard this hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the zakat representative has always left me pleased.

The Noble Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) also said: Whoever is deprived of gentleness is deprived of (all) goodness.
