Sahih al-Bukhari 2983 (Book 57, Hadith 20)
persons came to him and complained about the Zakat officials of `Uthman. `Ali then said to me, “Go
to `Uthman and say to him, ‘This document contains the regulations of spending the Sadaqa of Allah’s
Apostle so order your Zakat officials to act accordingly.” I took the document to `Uthman. `Uthman
said, “Take it away, for we are not in need of it.” I returned to `Ali with it and informed him of that.
He said, “Put it whence you took it.”
