The punishment for those who misappropriate funds

What is the authenticity of this Hadith?

Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “There are some men who misappropriate Allah’s wealth [such as the funds of the Muslim state, Zakah etc.), the Fire will be their destination on the Day of Qiyamah.”

Answer:

Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith on the authority of Sayyidah Khawlah Al Ansariyyah (radiyallahu ‘anha). The narration is therefore authentic.

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 3118)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
