Ibn Sa'di al-Maliki narrates: Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) appointed me as the supervisor for collecting Zakat. When I finished and handed over the payment to him, he ordered that I be given a salary. I said to him: I did this work for the pleasure of Allah and my reward is with Allah. He said: Accept what is being given to you, because during the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I also did this work and said the same thing that you have said, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When something is given to you without you asking for it, then use it yourself and also give charity from it."
