10. Zakāh (Prescribed Charity)
١٠۔ كِتَابُ الزَّكَاةِ
[Machine] That Abu Bakr wrote this obligation of charity upon himself which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ obliged upon the Muslims. He mentioned the hadith in which it is mentioned that it should not be gathered between different things and should not be separated between things that are gathered, out of fear of charity and what comes from two mixtures. For indeed, they intermix with equality between them.
أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ كَتَبَ لَهُ هَذِهِ فَرِيضَةُ الصَّدَقَةِ الَّتِي فَرَضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَفِيهِ لَا يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَ مُتَفَرِّقٍ وَلَا يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَ مُجْتَمِعٍ خَشْيَةَ الصَّدَقَةِ وَمَا كَانَ مِنْ خَلِيطَيْنِ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَتَرَاجَعَانِ بَيْنَهُمَا بِالسَّوِيَّةِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah wrote the book of charity but did not distribute it to his workers until he passed away. Then Abu Bakr used it until he passed away, then Umar used it until he passed away. The hadith mentioned in it is about the charity of camels and the charity of sheep. He said: "It should not be divided between a group, nor should it be combined between separate ones, fearing for the charity. And it should not be mixed between the two, for they compensate each other equally." And we narrated it in the hadith of Amr ibn Hazm.
كَتَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كِتَابَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَلَمْ يُخْرِجْهُ إِلَى عُمَّالِهِ حَتَّى قُبِضَ فَقَرَنَهُ بِسَيْفِهِ فَعَمِلَ بِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَتَّى قُبِضَ ثُمَّ عَمِلَ بِهِ عُمَرُ حَتَّى قُبِضَ فَكَانَ فِيهِ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي صَدَقَةِ الْإِبِلِ وَصَدَقَةِ الْغَنَمِ وَقَالَ وَلَا يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَ مُجْتَمِعٍ وَلَا يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَ مُتَفَرِّقٍ مَخَافَةَ الصَّدَقَةِ وَمَا كَانَ مِنْ خَلِيطَيْنِ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَتَرَاجَعَانِ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ وَرُوِّينَاهُ فِي حَدِيثِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ
[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he mentioned the hadith regarding zakat on paper, sheep, and camels, until he said: "If it exceeds ninety, then it has two rights, a pair of camels, up to one hundred and twenty. If there are more camels than that, then for every fifty, there is a right, and for every forty, another right, and it should not be separated among a group or combined between separated ones, for fear of falsehood in giving charity."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي زَكَاةِ الْوَرِقِ وَالْغَنَمِ وَالْإِبِلِ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ فَإِذَا زَادَتْ وَاحِدَةً يَعْنِي عَلَى التِّسْعِينَ فَفِيهَا حِقَّتَانِ طَرُوقَتَا الْجَمَلِ إِلَى عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةٍ فَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْإِبِلُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَفِي كُلِّ خَمْسِينَ حِقَّةٌ وَفِي كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ كَذَا وَلَا يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَ مُجْتَمِعٍ وَلَا يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَ مُتَفَرِّقٍ خَشْيَةَ الصَّدَقَةِ
Suwaid bin Ghaflah reported The collector of the Prophet ﷺ came to us. I caught hold of his hand and read in the document that the goods were not to be combined nor were they to be separated for fear of zakat. There is no mention of milch animals in this tradition. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1580)
أَتَانَا مُصَدِّقُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ وَقَرَأْتُ فِي عَهْدِهِ قَالَ وَلَا يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَ مُتَفَرِّقٍ وَلَا يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَ مُجْتَمِعٍ خَشْيَةَ الصَّدَقَةِ
[Machine] "Except for one narration, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'No distinction should be made between a gathering, nor should a separation be made between those who contribute in charity.' The two mixed together, just as they did with a stallion, a shepherd, and a watering hole."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَّا حَدِيثًا وَاحِدًا يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَ مُجْتَمِعٍ وَلَا يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَ مُتَفَرِّقٍ فِي الصَّدَقَةِ وَالْخَلِيطَانِ مَا اجْتَمَعَ عَلَى الْفَحْلِ وَالرَّاعِي وَالْحَوْضِ
[Machine] If the pasture is one, the shepherd is one, and the bucket is one.
إِذَا كَانَ الْمُرَاحُ وَاحِدًا وَالرَّاعِي وَاحِدًا وَالدَّلْوُ وَاحِدًا
فِيهَا شَاةٌ
[Machine] They have a sheep. I said, "If it belongs to one, it is thirty-nine, and if it belongs to another, it is one sheep."
عَلَيْهِمْ شَاةٌ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لِوَاحِدٍ تِسْعٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ وَلِآخَرَ شَاةٌ قَالَ عَلَيْهِمَا شَاةٌ
