Following Regulations for Spending Sadaqa

SUMMARY: 'Ali advised 'Uthman to follow the regulations of spending the Sadaqa of Allah's Apostle, but 'Uthman refused.

Narrated Ibn Al-Hanafiya: If 'Ali had spoken anything bad about 'Uthman then he would have mentioned the day when some 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".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُوقَةَ، عَنْ مُنْذِرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ، قَالَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ ذَاكِرًا عُثْمَانَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ ذَكَرَهُ يَوْمَ جَاءَهُ نَاسٌ فَشَكَوْا سُعَاةَ عُثْمَانَ، فَقَالَ لِي عَلِيٌّ اذْهَبْ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ فَأَخْبِرْهُ أَنَّهَا صَدَقَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ، فَمُرْ سُعَاتَكَ يَعْمَلُونَ فِيهَا‏.‏ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا فَقَالَ أَغْنِهَا عَنَّا‏.‏ فَأَتَيْتُ بِهَا عَلِيًّا فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ ضَعْهَا حَيْثُ أَخَذْتَهَا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about following regulations when it comes to spending sadaqa. It was narrated by Ibn Al-Hanafiya who said that some people came to Ali and complained about the Zakat officials of Uthman. Ali then told him to go and tell Uthman that there was a document containing regulations on how to spend sadaqa according to what Allah's Apostle had said, and he should order his Zakat officials accordingly. When he took this document to Uthman, he refused it saying they did not need it. Ali then told him to put it back where he found it. This hadith teaches us that we should always follow the rules set by Allah's Apostle when spending sadaqah or charity as this is an important part of our faith as Muslims. We must also be mindful of our actions and words towards others, even if we disagree with them or their decisions; we must still show respect in all situations.
