The dispatch of the sadaqa collectors

A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.

The Prophet sent men to gather the sadaqa from every tribe to the Muslims' treasury in Medina, choosing for each tribe a man who knew it or was of its people.

After the Prophet ﷺ returned from the conquest campaign he stayed in Medina receiving delegations, sending agents and spreading teachers; as soon as Muharram's crescent of 9 AH rose he sent out the sadaqa collectors to the tribes. He sent Uyayna ibn Hisn to Banu Tamim, Yazid ibn al-Husayn to Aslam and Ghifar, Abbad ibn Bishr (may God be pleased with him) to Sulaym and Muzayna, Rafi' ibn Makith to Juhayna, Amr ibn al-As (may God be pleased with him) to Banu Fazara, al-Dahhak ibn Sufyan to Banu Kilab, Bashir ibn Sufyan to Banu Ka'b, Ibn al-Lutbiyya al-Azdi to Banu Dhubyan, al-Muhajir ibn Abi Umayya to San'a' and Ziyad ibn Labid to Hadramawt; also Adi ibn Hatim (may God be pleased with him) to Tayy and Banu Asad, Malik ibn Nuwayra to Banu Hanzala, al-Zibriqan ibn Badr (may God be pleased with him) and Qays ibn Asim (may God be pleased with him) to Banu Sa'd, al-Ala' ibn al-Hadrami to Bahrayn, and Ali ibn Abi Talib (may God be pleased with him) to Najran for both sadaqa and jizya. Not all were sent in Muharram — some waited until their tribes embraced Islam.
