10. Zakāh (Prescribed Charity)
١٠۔ كِتَابُ الزَّكَاةِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say that while a man was in a valley, he heard thunder in a cloud and heard it say, "Water the garden of so-and-so with your name." So, that cloud came to a barren land and poured out its water. Then, it came to a valley full of cracks, and it reached a crack and absorbed the water. The man followed the cloud until it came to a standing man in a garden, watering it. The man said, "O servant of Allah, what is your name?" He said, "Why do you ask?" The man said, "I heard in a cloud that its water should water the garden of so-and-so with your name. What do you do with it when you cultivate it?" He said, "When you said that, I make it into three parts. I take one-third for me and my family, and I give one-third in charity, and I keep one-third for the poor, the beggars, and the travelers."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ بِفَلَاةٍ إِذْ سَمِعَ رَعْدًا فِي سَحَابٍ فَسَمِعَ فِيهِ كَلَامًا اسْقِ حَدِيقَةَ فُلَانٍ بِاسْمِهِ فَجَاءَ ذَلِكَ السَّحَابُ إِلَى حَرَّةٍ فَأَفْرَغَ مَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْمَاءِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى ذُنَابِ شَرْجٍ فَانْتَهَى إِلَى شَرْجَةٍ فَاسْتَوْعَبَتِ الْمَاءَ وَمَشَى الرَّجُلُ مَعَ السَّحَابَةِ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى رَجُلٍ قَائِمٍ فِي حَدِيقَةٍ يَسْقِيهَا فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ مَا اسْمُكَ؟ قَالَ وَلِمَ تَسْأَلُ؟ قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ فِي سَحَابٍ هَذَا مَاؤُهُ اسْقِ حَدِيقَةَ فُلَانٍ بِاسْمِكَ فَمَا تَصْنَعُ فِيهَا إِذَا صَرَمْتَهَا؟ قَالَ أَمَا إِذْ قُلْتَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنِّي أَجْعَلُهَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَثْلَاثٍ أَجْعَلُ ثُلُثًا لِي وَلِأَهْلِي وَأَرُدُّ ثُلُثًا فِيهَا وَأَجْعَلُ ثُلُثًا فِي الْمَسَاكِينِ وَالسَّائِلِينَ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ
