10. Zakāh (Prescribed Charity)
١٠۔ كِتَابُ الزَّكَاةِ
خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فَأَتَيْنَا وَادِيَ الْقُرَى عَلَى حَدِيقَةٍ لِامْرَأَةٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اخْرُصُوهَا فَخَرَصْنَاهَا وَخَرَصَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَشَرَةَ أَوْسُقٍ وَقَالَ أَحْصِيهَا حَتَّى نَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ وَانْطَلَقْنَا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا تَبُوكَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلْنَا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا وَادِيَ الْقُرَى فَسَأَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَرْأَةَ عَنْ حَدِيقَتِهَا كَمْ بَلَغَ ثَمَرُهَا؟ فَقَالَتْ بَلَغَ عَشَرَةَ أَوْسُقٍ
[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the Jews of Khaybar when he conquered Khaybar: I will grant you a guarantee of safety that Allah has granted you, that the dates will be shared between us and you. He sent Abdullah ibn Rawaha to distribute dates among them and said: If you wish, it is for you, and if you wish, it is for me. They would take it."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِيَهُوَدِ خَيْبَرَ حِينَ افْتَتَحَ خَيْبَرَ أُقِرُّكُمْ مَا أَقَرَّكُمُ اللهُ عَلَى أَنَّ التَّمْرَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ قَالَ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَبْعَثُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ ؓ فَيَخْرُصُ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ فَلَكُمْ وَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ فَلِي فَكَانُوا يَأْخُذُونَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to send Abdullah bin Rawaha to negotiate with the Jews. They offered him jewelry from their women and asked him to take it and lighten their burden and be lenient in his judgment. Abdullah bin Rawaha said: "O Jews! By Allah, you are among the most disliked of Allah's creation to me. But this does not prevent me from being fair to you. As for the bribe you have offered, it is haram and we do not consume it." They said: "With this statement, the heavens and the earth stood up."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَبْعَثُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ فَيَخْرُصُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ يَهُوَدَ قَالَ فَجَمَعُوا لَهُ حُلِيًّا مِنْ حُلِيِّ نِسَائِهِمْ فَقَالُوا هَذَا لَكَ وَخَفِّفْ عَنَّا وَتَجَاوَزْ فِي الْقَسْمِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ ؓ يَا مَعْشَرَ يَهُوَدَ وَاللهِ إِنَّكُمْ لَمِنْ أَبْغَضِ خَلْقِ اللهِ إِلَيَّ وَمَا ذَلِكَ بِحَامِلِي عَلَى أَنْ أَحِيفَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَمَّا الَّذِي عَرَّضْتُمْ مِنَ الرِّشْوَةِ فَإِنَّهَا سُحْتٌ وَإِنَّا لَا نَأْكُلُهَا قَالُوا بِهَذَا قَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ
[Machine] Did Allah bestow upon His Messenger ﷺ the children of Nadir, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ affirmed their ownership over what they had, and he made it a covenant between him and them? So Abdullah ibn Rawaha was sent, and he divided it among them and said to them, "O Jews, you are the most hated people to me. You killed the prophets of Allah and lied about Allah. My hatred for you does not lead me to be unjust to you. I have divided among you twenty thousand measures of dates. If you want them, they are for you, and if you refuse, they should acknowledge that the heavens and the earth have risen against you." They said, "We have accepted it, so leave us alone."
أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ﷺ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ فَأَقَرَّهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى مَا كَانُوا وَجَعَلَهَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَبَعَثَ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ فَخَرَصَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُوَدِ أَنْتُمْ أَبْغَضُ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ قَتَلْتُمْ أَنْبِيَاءَ اللهِ وَكَذَبْتُمْ عَلَى اللهِ وَلَيْسَ يَحْمِلُنِي بُغْضِي إِيَّاكُمْ عَلَى أَنْ أَحِيفَ عَلَيْكُمْ قَدْ خَرَصْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ عِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ وَسْقٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ فَلَكُمْ وَإِنْ أَبَيْتُمْ فَلِي قَالُوا بِهَذَا قَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ قَالُوا قَدْ أَخَذْنَا فَاخْرُجُوا عَنَّا
The Prophet ﷺ used to send Abdullah ibn Rawahah (to Khaybar), and he would assess the amount of dates when they began to ripen before they were eaten (by the Jews). He would then give choice to the Jews that they have them (on their possession) by that assessment or could assign to them (Muslims) by that assignment, so that the (amount of) zakat could be calculated before the fruit became eatable and distributed (among the people). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3413)
خَيْبَرَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَبْعَثُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ إِلَى يَهُوَدَ فَيَخْرُصُ عَلَيْهِمُ النَّخْلَ حِينَ يُطَيَّبُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُؤْكَلَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ يُخَيِّرُ يَهُوَدَ يَأْخُذُونَهُ بِذَلِكَ الْخَرْصِ أَمْ يَدْفَعُونَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ بِذَلِكَ الْخَرْصِ لِكَيْ تُحْصَى الزَّكَاةُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُؤْكَلَ الثِّمَارُ وَتُفَرَّقَ
