9. Zakāh (Ritual Charity)
٩۔ كتاب الزكاة
That the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ as saying No sadaqah(zakat) is payable on less than five camels, on less than five ounces of silver and on less than five camel loads(wasq).
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ ذَوْدٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَلَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ أَوَاقٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَلَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسَةِ أَوْسُقٍ صَدَقَةٌ
The Prophet ﷺ said: There is no zakat payable (on grain or dates) on less than five camel-loads. The wasq (one camel-load) measures sixty sa' in weight.
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسَةِ أَوْسُقٍ زَكَاةٌ وَالْوَسْقُ سِتُّونَ مَخْتُومًا
Ibrahim said The wasq contained sixty sa’s stamped with the stamp of Al Hajjaj.
الْوَسْقُ سِتُّونَ صَاعًا مَخْتُومًا بِالْحَجَّاجِيِّ
A man said to Imran ibn Husayn: AbuNujayd, you narrate to us traditions whose basis we do not find in the Qur'an. Thereupon, Imran got angry and said to the man: Do you find in the Qur'an that one dirham is due on forty dirhams (as Zakat), and one goat is due on such-and-such number of goats, and one camel will be due on such-and-such number of camels? He replied: No. He said: From whom did you take it? You took it from us, from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He mentioned many similar things.
وَقَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ أَوَجَدْتُمْ فِي كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ دِرْهَمًا دِرْهَمٌ وَمِنْ كُلِّ كَذَا وَكَذَا شَاةً شَاةٌ وَمِنْ كُلِّ كَذَا وَكَذَا بَعِيرًا كَذَا وَكَذَا أَوَجَدْتُمْ هَذَا فِي الْقُرْآنِ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَعَنْ مَنْ أَخَذْتُمْ هَذَا أَخَذْتُمُوهُ عَنَّا وَأَخَذْنَاهُ عَنْ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَذَكَرَ أَشْيَاءَ نَحْوَ هَذَا
