Sahih al-Bukhari 3117 (Book 57, Hadith 26) #2980
Distributing as Ordered

SUMMARY: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) is a distributor of what he is ordered to give and does not withhold anything from anyone.

Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger said, "Neither do I give you (anything) nor withhold (anything) from you, but I am just a distributor (ie Qasim), and I give as I am ordered".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِلاَلٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَا أُعْطِيكُمْ وَلاَ أَمْنَعُكُمْ، أَنَا قَاسِمٌ أَضَعُ حَيْثُ أُمِرْتُ
