Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 10, Hadith 86
Maghrib, we passed by and he said: ‘Fie on you, fie on you!’ That upset me so I slowed down because I thought hat he meant me. He said: ‘What is the matter with you? Keep up!’ I said: ‘Is there something wrong?’ He
said: ‘Why are you asking that? I said: ‘Because you said: “Fie on you” to me.’ He said: ‘No, that was so-and-so whom I had sent to collect Zakat from the tribe of so-and-so, and he stole a Namirah and now
he is clothed with something similar
made of Fire.”‘

The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. As one of the six major Hadith collections in Sunni Islam, the Sunan an-Nasa’i holds a position of immense authority. Its compiler, the illustrious scholar Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i, dedicated his efforts to creating a work of the highest integrity in the 9th century. The collection encompasses over 5,700 narrations detailing the Prophet Muhammad’s teachings and example. Imam al-Nasa’i’s process was defined by a rigorous and scholarly methodology that prioritized authentic chains of transmission above all else. This meticulous curation, which involved discarding weaker narrations, has cemented the Sunan’s reputation for unparalleled reliability and precision.
