Narated By 'Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin : The Prophet (pbuh) sent AbuJahm ibn Hudhayfah as a collector of zakat. A man quarrelled with him about his sadaqah (i.e. zakat), and AbuJahm struck him and wounded his head. His people came to the Prophet (pbuh) and said: Revenge, Apostle of Allah!

The Prophet (pbuh) said: You may have so much and so much. But they did not agree. He again said: You may have so much and so much. But they did not agree. He again said: You may have so much and so much. So they agreed.

The Prophet (pbuh) said: I am going to address the people in the afternoon and tell them about your consent.

They said: Yes. Addressing (the people), the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: These people of faith came to me asking for revenge. I presented them with so much and so much and they agreed. Do you agree?

They said: No. The immigrants (muhajirun) intended (to take revenge) on them. But the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) commanded them to refrain and they refrained.

He then called them and increased (the amount), and asked: Do you agree? They replied: Yes. He said: I am going to address the people and tell them about your consent. They said: Yes. The Prophet (pbuh) addressed and said: Do you agree? They said: Yes.
