"When the Messenger of Allah [SAW] died, the 'Arabs apostatized, so 'Umar said: 'O Abu Bakr, how can you fight the 'Arabs?' Abu Bakr said: 'The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: "I have been commanded to fight the people until they bear witness to La ilaha illallah (there is none worthy of worship except Allah) and that I am the Messenger of Allah, and they establish Salah and pay Zakah." By Allah, if they withhold from me a young goat that they used to give to the Messenger of Allah [SAW], I will fight them for it.' 'Umar said: 'By Allah, as soon as I realized how certain Abu Bakr was, I knew that it was the truth.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3969)  

لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ارْتَدَّتِ الْعَرَبُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تُقَاتِلَ الْعَرَبَ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَشْهَدُوا أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ مَنَعُونِي عَنَاقًا مِمَّا كَانُوا يُعْطُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَأُقَاتِلُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ» قَالَ عُمَرُ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ رَأْيَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَدْ شُرِحَ عَلَيْهِ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'I have been commanded to fight the people until they testify to La ilaha ill-allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) and that I am the Messenger of Allah, and establish regular prayers and pay Zakat.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 71)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَشْهَدُوا أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ ثُمَّ حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيَّ دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَأَمْوَالُهُمْ وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ ﷻ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The first three to enter Paradise are: the martyr, the servant who worships his Lord well and is loyal to his master, and the one who is chaste and of good character and has dependents. As for the first three to enter Hellfire, they are: a tyrant ruler, a wealthy person who does not fulfill the rights of Allah with his wealth, and a poor person who is inclined towards evil." This hadith was narrated by 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb al-'Uqayli, a knowledgeable sheikh from the people of Madinah, and he is recognized for his reliable narrations. This is a narration that stands alone as 'Yahya ibn Abi Kathir did not mention it, however, the narration is supported by the hadith of Al-Amash from 'Abdullah ibn Murrat.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عُرِضَ عَلَيَّ أَوَّلُ ثَلَاثَةٍ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَوَّلُ ثَلَاثَةٍ يَدْخُلُونَ النَّارَ فَأَمَّا أَوَّلُ ثَلَاثَةٍ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ فَالشَّهِيدُ وَعَبْدٌ مَمْلُوكٌ أَحْسَنَ عُبَادَةَ رَبِّهِ وَنَصَحَ لِسَيِّدِهِ وَعَفِيفٌ مُتَعَفِّفٌ ذُو عِيَالٍ وَأَمَّا أَوَّلُ ثَلَاثَةٍ يَدْخُلُونَ النَّارَ فَأَمِيرٌ مُسَلَّطٌ وَذُو ثَرْوَةٍ مِنْ مَالٍ لَا يُؤَدِّي حَقَّ اللَّهِ فِي مَالِهِ وَفَقِيرٌ فَجُورٌ «عَامِرُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ الْعُقَيْلِيُّ شَيْخٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ مُسْتَقِيمُ الْحَدِيثِ وَهَذَا أَصْلٌ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ عَنْهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ وَشَاهِدُهُ حَدِيثُ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ»  

"The one who consumes Riba, the one who pays it, and the one who writes it down, if they know that it is Riba; the woman who does tattoos and the woman who has that done for the purpose of beautification; the one who withholds Sadaqah (Zakah); and the one who reverts to the life of a Bedouin after having emigrated- they will (all) be cursed upon the tongue of Muhammad [SAW] on the Day of Resurrection." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5102)   

«مَا عَبَدَ اللَّهُ آكِلُ الرِّبَا وَمُوكِلُهُ وَشَاهِدَاهُ إِذَا عَلِمَاهُ وَالْوَاشِمَةُ وَالْمُوتَشِمَةُ وَلَاوِي الصَّدَقَةِ وَالْمُرْتَدُّ أَعْرَابِيًّا بَعْدَ الْهِجْرَةِ مَلْعُونُونَ عَلَى لِسَانِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "In camels, their charity is in their offspring, in sheep, their charity is in their milk, in cows, their charity is their milk, and in horses, their charity is in their offspring. Whoever accumulates silver coins, gold coins, or land and does not count them as a debt nor spends them in the cause of Allah, it will be a treasure folded for him on the Day of Judgment." This was narrated by Ibn Jarir from Imran ibn Abi Anas.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «فِي الْإِبِلِ صَدَقَتُهَا وَفِي الْغَنَمِ صَدَقَتُهَا وَفِي الْبَقَرِ صَدَقَتُهَا وَفِي الْبُرِّ صَدَقَتُهُ وَمَنْ رَفَعَ دَنَانِيرَ وَدَرَاهِمَ أَوْ تِبْرًا وَفِضَّةً لَا يَعُدُّهَا لِغَرِيمٍ وَلَا يُنْفِقُهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ كَنْزٌ يُكْوَى بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» تَابَعَهُ ابْنُ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ أَبِي أَنَسٍ  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'In camels, their charity is in their milk, and in sheep, their charity is in their wool, and in cows, their charity is in their milk.' Both chains of narration are authentic according to the conditions of the two sheikhs, and they did not exclude it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فِي الْإِبِلِ صَدَقَتُهَا وَفِي الْغَنَمِ صَدَقَتُهَا وَفِي الْبُرِّ صَدَقَتُهُ» كِلَا الْإِسْنَادَيْنِ صَحِيحَانِ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him to Yemen and said, "Take wheat from wheat, wool from sheep, and camels from camels, and cows from cows." This is a authentic chain of narration according to the conditions set by the two scholars, if the hearing of Ata ibn Yasar from Muadh ibn Jabal is correct. I do not know it perfectly.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعَثَهُ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ «خُذِ الْحَبَّ مِنَ الْحَبِّ وَالشَّاةَ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ وَالْبَعِيرَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ وَالْبَقَرَةَ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ» هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ إِنْ صَحَّ سَمَاعُ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ فَإِنِّي لَا أُتْقِنُهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever leaves behind a treasure similar to him on the Day of Judgment, brave and strong, two grapes will be given to him that follow his mouth. He will say, 'Woe to you, I am your treasure that you left behind after you.' He will continue to follow him until he feeds him with his hand and he bites it. Then the rest of his body will follow."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ تَرَكَ بَعْدَهُ كَنْزًا مُثِّلَ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شُجَاعًا أَقْرَعَ لَهُ زَبِيبَتَانِ يَتْبَعُ فَاهُ فَيَقُولُ وَيْلَكَ أَنَا كَنْزُكَ الَّذِي تَرَكْتَهُ بَعْدَكَ فَلَا يَزَالُ يَتْبَعُهُ حَتَّى يُلْقِمَهُ يَدَهُ فَيَقْضَمُهَا ثُمَّ يَتْبَعُهُ سَائِرَ جَسَدِهِ  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "One of you will have a treasure on the Day of Judgment, which appears as a bald-headed man with two raised parts on his scalp. His owner will follow him while seeking refuge from him, but he will continue to follow him as he tries to flee until he devours him with his two fingers."

The two sheikhs (referring to Bukhari and Muslim) agreed to include the hadith of Ibn Masud and Ibn Umar in this chapter, in a summarized form, as a warning against preventing payment of Zakat. However, they did not include the hadith of Abu Hurairah and Thawban.  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يَكُونُ كَنْزُ أَحَدِكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شُجَاعًا أَقْرَعَ ذُو زَبِيبَتَيْنِ يَتْبَعُ صَاحِبَهُ وَهُوَ يَتَعَوَّذُ مِنْهُ فَلَا يَزَالُ يَتْبَعُهُ وَهُوَ يَفِرُّ مِنْهُ حَتَّى يُلْقِمَهُ إِصْبَعَيْهِ» قَدِ اتَّفَقَ الشَّيْخَانِ عَلَى إِخْرَاجِ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَابْنِ عَمْرٍو فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ عَلَى سَبِيلِ الِاخْتِصَارِ وَفِي التَّغْلِيظِ الْمَانِعِ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمَا لَمْ يُخَرِّجَا حَدِيثَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَثَوْبَانَ  

[Machine] I heard Abu Umamah say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us during the Farewell Pilgrimage on his young camel. He had placed his feet in the stirrups to make himself taller and said, "Can you hear me?" A man from the masses asked, "What obligations do you have for us?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Worship your Lord, establish prayer, observe fasting in Ramadan, pay Zakat on your wealth, and obey your leaders, then you will enter the Paradise of your Lord." I asked Abu Umamah, "Who were you at that time?" He replied, "I, my nephew, was thirty years old. I was pushing my camel closer to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ يَقُولُ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِينَا فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَهُوَ عَلَى نَاقَتِهِ الْجَدْعَاءِ قَدْ جَعَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ فِي غَرْزَيِ الرِّكَابِ يَتَطَاوَلُ يُسْمِعُ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ «أَلَا تَسْمَعُ صَوْتِي؟» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ طَوَائِفِ النَّاسِ فَمَاذَا تَعْهَدُ إِلَيْنَا؟ فَقَالَ «اعْبُدُوا رَبَّكُمْ وَصَلُّوا خَمْسَكُمْ وَصُومُوا شَهْرَكُمْ وَأَدُّوا زَكَاةَ أَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَطِيعُوا ذَا أَمْرِكُمْ تَدْخُلُوا جَنَّةَ رَبِّكُمْ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ فَمِثْلُ مَنْ أَنْتَ يَوْمَئِذٍ؟ قَالَ «أَنَا يَا ابْنَ أَخِي يَوْمَئِذٍ ابْنُ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً أُزَاحِمُ الْبَعِيرَ أُدَحْرِجُهُ قُرْبًا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ»  

We entered upon A’ishah, wife of the Prophet ﷺ. She said The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ entered upon me and saw two silver rings in my hand. He asked What is this, Aishah? I said I have made two ornaments myself for you, Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He asked Do you pay zakat on them? I said No or I said Whatever Allah willed. He said this is sufficient for you (to take you) to the Hell fire. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1565)   

دَخَلْنَا عَلَى عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرَأَى فِي يَدِي سِخَابًا مِنْ وَرِقٍ فَقَالَ «مَا هَذَا يَا عَائِشَةُ؟» فَقُلْتُ صَنَعْتُهُنَّ أَتَزَيَّنُ لَكَ فِيهِنَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ «أَتُؤَدِّينَ زَكَاتَهُنَّ؟» فَقُلْتُ لَا أَوْ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ «هِيَ حَسْبُكِ مِنَ النَّارِ»  

[Machine] "She used to wear golden bracelets, so she asked the Prophet ﷺ about it, saying: 'Is this considered a treasure?' He replied, 'If you give its Zakat, then it is not considered a treasure.'"  

أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَلْبَسُ أَوْضَاحًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَسَأَلَتْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ أَكَنْزٌ هُوَ؟ فَقَالَ «إِذَا أَدَّيْتِ زَكَاتَهُ فَلَيْسَ بِكَنْزٍ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "When you pay the zakat of your wealth, you have eliminated its harm from yourself."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا أَدَّيْتَ زَكَاةَ مَالِكَ فَقَدْ أَذْهَبْتَ عَنْكَ شَرَّهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When you give zakat, you have fulfilled what is upon you, and whoever accumulates wealth unlawfully and then gives it in charity, he will not have any reward, and his burden will be upon him."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا أَدَّيْتَ الزَّكَاةَ فَقَدْ قَضَيْتَ مَا عَلَيْكَ وَمَنْ جَمَعَ مَالًا حَرَامًا ثُمَّ تَصَدَّقَ بِهِ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ فِيهِ أَجْرٌ وَكَانَ إِصْرُهُ عَلَيْهِ»  

I took a letter from Thumamah bin ‘Abd Allah bin Anas. He presumed that Abu Bakr had written it for Anas when he sent him (to Al Bahrain) as a collector of zakat. This (letter) was stamped with the stamp of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and was written by Abu Bakr for him(Anas). This letter goes “This is the obligatory sadaqah(zakat) which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ imposed on Muslims which Allah commanded his Prophet ﷺ to impose. Those Muslims who are asked for the proper amount must give it, but those who are asked for more than that must not give it. For less than twenty five Camels a goat is to be given for every five Camels. When they reach twenty five to thirty five, a she Camel in her second year is to be given. If there is no she Camel in her second year, a male Camel in its third year is to be given. When they reach thirty six to forty five, a she Camel in her third year is to be given. When they reach forty six to sixty , a she Camel in her fourth year which is ready to be covered by a stallion is to be given. When they reach sixty one to seventy five, a she Camel in her fifth year is to be given. When they reach seventy six to ninety, two she Camel in their third year are to be given. When they reach ninety one to a hundred and twenty, two she Camels in their fourth year are ready to be covered by a stallion are to be given. When they exceed a hundred and twenty, a she Camel in her third year is to be given for every forty and a she Camel in her fourth year for every fifty(Camels). In case the ages of the Camel vary in the payment of obligatory sadaqah(zakat) If anyone whose Camels reach the number on which a she Camel in her fifth year is payable does not possess one but possess one in her fourth year, that will be accepted from him along with two goats if he can conveniently give them, or else twenty dirhams. If anyone whose Camels reach the number on which a she Camel in her fourth year is payable does not possess but possesses one in her fifth year, that will be accepted from him, and the collector must give him twenty dirhams or two goats. If anyone whose Camels reach the number on which a she Camel in her fourth year is payable possesses only one in her third year, that will be accepted from him.” Abu Dawud said From here I could not retain accurately from Musa as I liked “And he must give along with it two goats if he can conveniently give them, or else twenty dirhams. If anyone whose Camels reach the number on which a she Camel in her third year is payable possesses only one in her fourth year, that will be accepted from him.” Abu Dawud said (I was doubtful) up to here, and retained correctly onward “and the collector must give him twenty dirhams or two goats. If anyone whose Camels reach the number on which a she Camel in her third year is payable does not possess one but possesses one in her second year, that will be accepted from him, but he must give two goats or twenty dirhams. Anyone whose Camels reach the number on which a she Camel in her second year is payable does not possess one but possesses a male Camel in its third year, that will be accepted from him, and nothing extra will be demanded along with it. If anyone possesses only four Camels, no zakat will be payable on them unless their owner wishes. If the numbers of the pasturing goats reach forty to one hundred and twenty, one goat is to be given. Over one hundred and twenty up to two hundred, two goats are to be given. If they exceed two hundred reaching three hundred, three goats are to be given. If they exceed three hundred, a goat is to be for every hundred. An old sheep, one with a defect in the eye, or a male goat is not to be accepted as sadaqah (zakat) unless the collector wishes. Those which are in separate flocks are not to be brought together and those which are in one flock are not to be separated from fear of sadaqah(zakat). Regarding what belongs to two partners, they can make claims for restitution from one another with equity, If a man’s pasturing animals are less than forty, no sadaqah(zakat) is due on them unless their owner wishes. On sliver dirhams a fortieth is payable, but if there are only a hundred and ninety, nothing is payable unless their owner wishes.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1567)

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : "Then he mentioned the hadith in a similar manner to the hadith of Musa ibn Isma'il from Hammad with its length, and for these words, there is evidence from the hadith of Az-Zuhri from Salim from his father."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِنَحْوٍ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُوسَى بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ بِطُولِهِ وَلِهَذِهِ الْأَلْفَاظِ شَاهِدٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote a letter about sadaqah (zakat) but he died before he could send it to his governors. He had kept it with his sword. So AbuBakr acted upon it till he died, and then Umar acted upon it till he died. It contained: "For five camels one goat is to be given; for ten camels two goats are to be given; for fifteen camels three goats are to be given; for twenty camels four goats are to be given; for twenty-five to thirty-five camels a she-camel in her second year is to be given. If the number exceeds by one up to seventy camels, a she-camel in her fourth year is to be given; if they exceed by one up to seventy-five camels, a she-camel in her fifth year is to be given; if they exceed by one up to ninety camels, two she-camels in their third year are to be given; if they exceed by one up to one hundred and twenty, two she-camels in their fourth year are to be given. If the camels are more than this, a she-camel in her fourth year is to be given for every fifty camels, and a she-camel in her third year is to be given for every forty camels. For forty to one hundred and twenty goats one goat is to be given; if they exceed by one up to two hundred, two goats are to be given. If they exceed by one up to three hundred, three goats are to be given; if the goats are more than this, one goat for every hundred goats is to be given. Nothing is payable until they reach one hundred. Those which are in one flock are not to be separated, and those which are in separate flocks are not be brought together from fear of sadaqah (zakat). Regarding that which belongs to two partners, they can make claims for restitution from each other with equity. An old goat and a defective one are not to be accepted as sadaqah (zakat)." Az-Zuhri said: When the collector comes, the goats will be apportioned into three flocks: one containing bad, the second good, and the third moderate. The collector will take zakat from the moderate. Az-Zuhri did not mention the cows (to be apportioned in three flocks). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1568)

[Machine] This is a copy of the book of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, in which he wrote about charity. It is with the family of Umar ibn Al-Khattab. Ibn Shihab said, "Sālim ibn Abdullah ibn Umar read it to me, and I memorized it as it was on his face. This is the one that Umar ibn Abdul Aziz copied from Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn Umar and Sālim ibn Abdullah when he was commanded over the city. He commanded his workers to act according to it and wrote to Al-Walīd, and Al-Walīd commanded his workers to act according to it. The caliphs continued to order this after Umar ibn Abdul Aziz. Then Hisham ordered that it be copied and given to every worker from the Muslims, and they were commanded to act according to its contents and not go beyond it. This is a book that explains what cannot be taken as charity from camels until they have reached five shepherd's share (thuwd). Once they reach five, then there should be a sheep until they reach ten. Once they reach ten, then there should be two sheep until they reach fifteen. Once they reach fifteen, then there should be four mature she-camels until they reach twenty-five. Once they reach twenty-five, a yearling she-camel is obligatory until they reach thirty-five. If there is no yearling she-camel, then a one-year-old male camel until they reach thirty-five. If they reach thirty-five, then a female camel is obligatory until they reach forty-five. If they reach forty-five, then two she-camels are obligatory until they reach fifty-five. If they reach fifty-five, then three mature she-camels are obligatory until they reach sixty. If they reach sixty-one, then a young healthy she-camel until they reach seventy-five. If they reach seventy-six, then a female camel is obligatory until they reach ninety. If they reach ninety-one, then two young healthy she-camels until they reach one hundred and twenty. If they reach one hundred and twenty-one, then three daughters of Laboon until they reach one hundred and twenty-five. If they reach one hundred and thirty, then two daughters of Laboon and a mature she-camel until they reach one hundred and thirty-five

[Machine] When Umar bin Abdul Aziz assumed the caliphate, he sent to Madinah to seek the legacy of the Prophet ﷺ and to inquire about the secret of charity. He found a letter from Umar bin Khattab to his workers regarding charity, similar to the letter of the Prophet ﷺ to Amr ibn Hazm. Umar bin Abdul Aziz then ordered his workers to follow the instructions in both letters. In those letters was stated that camel charity should not exceed ninety-one, and in that case, it should be divided between twenty and one hundred. If the number exceeds one hundred and twenty-one, then three Libuun daughters should be added until it reaches one hundred and twenty-nine. If the number of camels is larger than that, then no share is given unless it reaches ten camels. As for the letter of the Prophet ﷺ to Amr ibn Hazm, its chain of narration is accepted because of the condition mentioned in this letter, and that is why I mentioned the length of the context.  

أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ حِينَ اسْتُخْلِفَ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ يَلْتَمِسُ عَهْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَسِرَّ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ فَوَجَدَ عِنْدَ آلِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ كِتَابَ عُمَرَ إِلَى عُمَّالِهِ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ بِمِثْلِ كِتَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ فَأَمَرَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عُمَّالَهُ عَلَى الصَّدَقَاتِ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا بِمَا فِي ذَيْنِكَ الْكِتَابَيْنِ فَكَانَ فِيهِمَا «صَدَقَةُ الْإِبِلِ مَا زَادَتْ عَلَى التِّسْعِينَ وَاحِدَةً فَفِيهَا حِقَّتَانِ إِلَى عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةٍ فَإِذَا زَادَتْ عَلَى الْعِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةٍ وَاحِدَةً فَفِيهَا ثَلَاثُ بَنَاتِ لَبُونٍ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةٍ فَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْإِبِلُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَلَيْسَ فِيهَا مَا لَا تَبْلُغُ الْعَشَرَةَ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ الْعَشَرَةَ» وَأَمَّا كِتَابُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ فَإِنَّ إِسْنَادَهُ مِنْ شَرْطِ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ وَلِذَلِكَ ذَكَرْتُ السِّيَاقَةَ بِطُولِهَا  

[Machine] "The book which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote for 'Amr ibn Hazm states, 'When the value of gold reaches 200 dirhams, then for every 40 dirhams, there shall be a dirham.'"  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْكِتَابُ الَّذِي كَتَبَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ «فَإِذَا بَلَغَ قِيمَةَ الذَّهَبِ مِائَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ فَفِي كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ دِرْهَمًا دِرْهَمٌ»  

[Machine] "On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ, that he wrote to the people of Yemen in a letter that included the obligatory duties, the recommended practices, and the charitable donations. The letter was sent with 'Amr ibn Hazm, and I read it to the people of Yemen. This is a copy of it: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. From Muhammad, the Prophet, to Shurahbil ibn 'Abd Kulal, Harith ibn 'Abd Kulal, and Nu'aim ibn Kulal, also known as the people of Ru'ayn, Ma'aafir, and Hamdan. After that, your messenger has returned and you have been given one-fifth of the spoils of war, as well as the fixed amount that Allah has prescribed for the believers from the agricultural lands that are irrigated naturally or by artificial means, or that are situated on hills. The fixed amount should be paid when the crops reach five usq in quantity. And what is watered by rain or springs, the fixed amount should be paid when the crops reach half of the usq requirement. And for every five camels that graze free, one sheep should be given until they reach twenty-four. And if one more is added, a one-year-old offspring should be given. If it is not available, then a male lamb until they reach thirty-five. And if one more is added, a one-year-old offspring should be given until they reach fifty. And if one more is added, a she-camel that is ready to mate should be given until they reach sixty. And if one more is added, a leg should be given until they reach seventy-five. And if one more is added, a female lamb should be given until they reach ninety. And if one more is added, two leg joints should be given until they reach one hundred and twenty. And if one more is added, then three thighs should be given until they reach three hundred. And whatever exceeds that, for every one hundred sheep, one sheep should be given. And there should not be haramah, nor unhealthy animals, nor animals with injuries, nor the offspring of a goat, except out of the will of the donor. And it should not be collected from disunited groups, nor separated among combined groups, for fear of causing a decrease in charity. And whatever is taken from the two mixed substances, they should be separated equally. And for every forty counts of paper currency, five dirhams should be given. And for every additional forty dirhams, one dirham should be given. And there is nothing less than five dirhams. And for every forty dinars, one dinar should be given. Verily, sadaqah is not permissible for Muhammad nor for the family of Muhammad. Rather, it is zakah, by which they purify themselves and support the poor believers, in the cause of Allah and the stranded traveler. And there is nothing for the slave or his horse.

"I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'With regard to grazing camels, for every forty a Bint Labun. No differentiation is to be made between camels when calculating them. Whoever gives it seeking reward will be rewarded for it. Whoever refuses, we will take it and half of his camels, as one of the rights of our Lord. And it is not permissible for the family of Muhammad to have any of them."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2449)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «فِي كُلِّ إِبِلٍ سَائِمَةٍ فِي كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ ابْنُ لَبُونٍ لَا يُفَرَّقُ إِبِلٌ عَنْ حِسَابِهَا مَنْ أَعْطَاهَا مُؤْتَجِرًا فَلَهُ أَجْرُهَا وَمَنْ مَنَعَهَا فَإِنَّا آخِذُوهَا وَشَطْرَ إِبِلِهِ عَزْمَةً مِنْ عَزَمَاتِ رَبِّنَا لَا تَحِلُّ لِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ»  

That the Messenger of Allah sent him to Yemen, and he commanded him to take a Dinar, or its equivalent in Maafr,[1] from each person who had reached the age of puberty. And with regard to cattle, from every thirty a male or female Tabi '(two-year-old). And from every forty a Musinnah (three-year-old). (Daif) (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2450)   

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعَثَهُ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ مِنْ كُلِّ ثَلَاثِينَ بَقَرَةً تَبِيعًا وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ بَقَرَةً مُسِنَّةً وَمِنْ كُلِّ حَالِمٍ دِينَارًا أَوْ عِدْلَهُ ثَوْبَ مَعَافِرَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him as a messenger, and his father said, "Do not leave until you make a covenant with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." When he wanted to leave, he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said to him, "O Qais, do not come on the Day of Resurrection with a camel that has spots, or a cow that has horns, or a sheep that has been borrowed, and do not be like Abu Righal." So Saad asked, "Who is Abu Righal?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He is a truthful person whom Saleh, the messenger, sent. He found a man in Ta'if with a near abundance of a hundred sheep, except for one sheep and a young boy who has no mother. And that sheep is his sustenance." The owner of the sheep asked, "Who are you?" He replied, "I am the messenger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." The man greeted him and said, "These are my sheep, take whatever you like." He looked at the spotted sheep and said, "This one." The man said, "This young boy, as you can see, has no food or drink except for it." He said, "If you like milk, I also like it." So he said, "Take two sheep instead of it." He refused, but he continued to increase and offer until he gave him five pairs of sheep instead of it. Then he refused to give him more. When he saw that, he went to his bow and shot him, killing him. Then he said, "It is not appropriate for anyone to come to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with such news before me." So the owner of the sheep went to Saleh, the Prophet ﷺ , and informed him. Saleh cursed Abu Righal twice. Then Saad bin Ubada said, "O Messenger of Allah, forgive Qais for the water."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعَثَهُ سَاعِيًا فَقَالَ أَبُوهُ لَا تَخْرُجْ حَتَّىْ تُحْدِثَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَهْدًا فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ الْخُرُوجَ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا قَيْسُ لَا تَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى رَقَبَتِكَ بَعِيرٌ لَهُ رُغَاءٌ أَوْ بَقَرَةٌ لَهَا خُوَارٌ أَوْ شَاةٌ لَهَا يُعَارٌ وَلَا تَكُنْ كَأَبِي رِغَالٍ» فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ وَمَا أَبُو رِغَالٍ؟ قَالَ مُصَدِّقٌ بَعَثَهُ صَالِحٌ فَوَجَدَ رَجُلًا بِالطَّائِفِ فِي غُنَيْمَةٍ قَرِيبَةٍ مِنَ الْمِائَةِ شِصَاصٍ إِلَّا شَاةً وَاحِدَةً وَابْنَ صَغْبَرٍ لَا أُمَّ لَهُ فَلَبَنُ تِلْكَ الشَّاةِ عَيْشُهُ فَقَالَ صَاحِبُ الْغَنَمِ مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ فَقَالَ أَنَا رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرَحَّبَ وَقَالَ هَذِهِ غَنَمِي فَخُذْ بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى الشَّاةِ اللَّبُونِ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ هَذَا الْغُلَامُ كَمَا تَرَى لَيْسَ لَهُ طَعَامٌ وَلَا شَرَابٌ غَيْرُهَا فَقَالَ إِنْ كُنْتَ تُحِبُّ اللَّبَنَ فَأَنَا أُحِبُّهُ فَقَالَ خُذْ شَاتَيْنِ مَكَانَهَا فَأَبَى فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَزِيدُهُ وَيَبْذُلُ حَتَّى بَذَلَ لَهُ خَمْسَ شِيَاهٍ شِصَاصٍ مَكَانَهَا فَأَبَى عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ عَمَدَ إِلَى قَوْسِهِ فَرَمَاهُ فَقَتَلَهُ فَقَالَ مَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِهَذَا الْخَبَرِ أَحَدٌ قَبْلِي فَأَتَى صَاحِبُ الْغَنَمِ صَالِحًا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ صَالِحٌ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ أَبَا رِغَالٍ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ أَبَا رِغَالٍ فَقَالَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اعْفُ قَيْسًا مِنَ السِّقَايَةِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Saad bin Ubada as a witness. He said, "O Saad, be careful not to come on the Day of Resurrection with a camel carrying its saddle." Saad said, "I cannot find it and I will not bring it." So, the Prophet forgave him.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ مُصَدِّقًا فَقَالَ «يَا سَعْدُ إِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَجِيءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِبَعِيرٍ تَحْمِلُهُ لَهُ رُغَاءٌ» قَالَ لَا أَجِدُهُ وَلَا أَجِيءُ بِهِ فَعَفَاهُ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commissioned me as a collector of zakat. I visited a man. When he had collected his property of camels, I found that a she-camel in her second year was due from him. I said to him: Pay a she-camel in her second year, for she is to be paid as sadaqah (zakat) by you. He said: That one is not worthy of milking and riding. Here is another she-camel which is young, grand and fat. So take it. I said to him: I shall not take an animal for which I have not been commanded. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ is here near to you. If you like, go to him, and present to him what you presented to me. Do that; if he accepts it from you, I shall accept it; if he rejects it, I shall reject it. He said: I shall do it. He accompanied me and took with him the she-camel which he had presented to me. We came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said to him: Prophet of Allah, your messenger came to me to collect zakat on my property. By Allah, neither the Messenger of Allah nor his messenger has ever seen my property before. I gathered my property (camels), and he estimated that a she-camel in her second year would be payable by me. But that has neither milk nor is it worth riding. So I presented to him a grand young she-camel for acceptance as zakat. But he has refused to take her. Look, she is here; I have brought her to you, Messenger of Allah. Take her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: That is what is due from you. If you give voluntarily a better (animal) Allah will give a reward to you for it. We accept her from you. She is here, Messenger of Allah; I have brought her to you. So take her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then ordered me to take possession of it, and he prayed for a blessing on his property. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1583)  

بَعَثَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مُصَدِّقًا فَمَرَرْتُ بِرَجُلٍ فَجَمَعَ لِي مَالَهُ لَمْ أَجِدْ عَلَيْهِ فِيهَا إِلَّا ابْنَةُ مَخَاضٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَدِّ ابْنَةَ مَخَاضٍ فَإِنَّهَا صَدَقَتُكَ فَقَالَ ذَاكَ مَا لَا لَبَنَ فِيهِ وَلَا ظَهْرٌ وَلَكِنْ هَذِهِ نَاقَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ سَمِينَةٌ فَخُذْهَا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَا أَنَا بِآخِذٍ مَا لَمْ أُؤْمَرْ بِهِ وَهَذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْكَ قَرِيبٌ فَإِنْ أَحْبَبْتَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَهُ فَتَعْرَضَ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَرَضْتَ عَلَيَّ فَافْعَلْ فَإِنْ قَبْلَهُ مِنْكَ قَبِلْتُهُ وَإِنْ رَدَّهُ عَلَيْكَ رَدَدْتُهُ قَالَ فَإِنِّي فَاعِلٌ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ مَعِي وَخَرَجَ بِالنَّاقَةِ الَّتِي عَرَضَ عَلَيَّ حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَتَانِي رَسُولٌ لَكَ لِيَأْخُذَ مِنْ صَدَقَةِ مَالِي وَايْمُ اللَّهِ مَا قَامَ فِي مَالِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَا رَسُولُهُ قَطُّ قَبْلَهُ فَجَمَعْتُ لَهُ مَالِي فَزَعَمَ أَنَّ مَا عَلَيَّ فِيهِ إِلَّا ابْنَةُ مَخَاضٍ وَذَاكَ مَا لَا لَبَنَ فِيهِ وَلَا ظَهْرٌ وَقَدْ عَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ نَاقَةً عَظِيمَةً لِيَأْخُذَهَا فَأَبَى عَلَيَّ وَهَا هِيَ ذِهْ قَدْ جِئْتُكَ بِهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ خُذْهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «ذَلِكَ الَّذِي عَلَيْكَ فَإِنْ تَطَوَّعْتَ بِخَيْرٍ أَجَرَكَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ وَقَبِلْنَاهُ مِنْكَ» قَالَ فَهَا هِيَ هَذِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ جِئْتُكَ بِهَا فَخُذْهَا قَالَ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِقَبْضِهَا وَدَعَا فِي مَالِهِ بِالْبَرَكَةِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "There is no charity in a small amount until it reaches two hundred dirhams."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا صَدَقَةَ فِي الرِّقَةِ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ مِائَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "There is nothing in ninety-nine, but when it reaches two hundred, it contains five dirhams."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَيْسَ فِي تِسْعِينَ وَمِائَةٍ شَيْءٌ فَإِذَا بَلَغَتْ مِائَتَيْنِ فَفِيهَا خَمْسَةُ دَرَاهِمَ»  

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ that he sent to a man and sent to him a mixed camel. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He came to him as a believer in Allah and a believer in His Messenger, so he sent a mixed camel. O Allah, do not bless him in it or in his camels." The man conveyed this and sent to him a camel from his good and beautiful ones. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "So-and-so said what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, so he sent him a camel from his good ones. O Allah, bless him and his camels."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ بَعَثَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ بِفَصِيلٍ مَخْلُولٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «جَاءَهُ مُصَدِّقُ اللَّهِ وَمُصَدِّقُ رَسُولِهِ فَبَعَثَ بِفَصِيلٍ مَخْلُولٍ اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُبَارِكْ لَهُ فِيهِ وَلَا فِي إِبِلِهِ» فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ بِنَاقَةٍ مِنْ حُسْنِهَا وَجَمَالِهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «بَلَغَ فُلَانًا مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَبَعَثَ بِنَاقَةٍ مِنْ حُسْنِهَا اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ فِيهِ وَفِي إِبِلِهِ»  

Some people from Syria came to ‘Umar and said: We have acquired wealth and horses and slaves,and we want to pay zakah on them as a purification. He said: I shall do what my two predecessors did. He consulted the Companions of Muhammad ﷺ, among whom was ‘Ali, and ‘Ali said: It is good, provided it does not become a regular tax that is taken from them after you are gone. (Using translation from Aḥmad 82)   

جَاءَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا قَدْ أَصَبْنَا أَمْوَالًا خَيْلًا وَرَقِيقًا نُحِبُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَنَا فِيهَا زَكَاةٌ وَطَهُورٌ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَهُ صَاحِبَايَ قَبْلِي فَأَفْعَلُهُ فَاسْتَشَارَ عُمَرُ عَلِيًّا فِي جَمَاعَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ «هُوَ حَسَنٌ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ جِزْيَةً يُؤْخَذُونَ بِهَا رَاتِبَةً»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ that he only took zakat from wheat, barley, raisins, and dates.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا «أَخَذَ الصَّدَقَةَ مِنَ الْحِنْطَةِ وَالشَّعِيرِ وَالزَّبِيبِ وَالتَّمْرِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Regarding what is watered by rain, natural springs, and the overflow of rivers, one-tenth (of the crops) is due. And regarding what is watered through irrigation channels, half of one-tenth (of the crops) is due. This applies only to dates, wheat, and grains. As for cucumbers, watermelons, pomegranates, and sugarcanes, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ exempted them from this."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «فِيمَا سَقَتِ السَّمَاءُ وَالْبَعْلُ وَالسَّيْلُ الْعُشْرُ وَفِيمَا سُقِيَ بِالنَّضْحِ نِصْفُ الْعُشْرِ وَإِنَّمَا يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ فِي التَّمْرِ وَالْحِنْطَةِ وَالْحُبُوبِ وَأَمَّا الْقِثَّاءُ وَالْبَطِّيخُ وَالرُّمَّانُ وَالْقَصَبُ فَقَدْ عَفَا عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ»  

[Machine] "From Abu Musa and Muadh ibn Jabal when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent them to Yemen to teach the people about their religious affairs, he said to them, 'Do not take charity except from these four things: barley, wheat, raisins, and dates.'"  

عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى وَمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ حِينَ بَعَثَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ يُعَلِّمَانِ النَّاسَ أَمْرَ دِينِهِمْ «لَا تَأْخُذُوا الصَّدَقَةَ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ الشَّعِيرِ وَالْحِنْطَةِ وَالزَّبِيبِ وَالتَّمْرِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "A Muslim man is not required to pay Zakat on his generosity or on his crops if they are less than five awsuq."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَيْسَ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ الْمُسْلِمِ زَكَاةٌ فِي كَرْمِهِ وَلَا فِي زَرْعِهِ إِذَا كَانَ أَقَلَّ مِنْ خَمْسَةِ أَوْسُقٍ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ forbid two types of dates, the Juhur dates and Hubayq dates. He said that there were people who would take their bad dates to give them in charity, so they were prohibited from using these two types of dates. Then, the verse was revealed "Do not give the bad among them in charity" [Quran 2:267].  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ لَوْنَيْنِ مِنَ التَّمْرِ الْجُعْرُورِ وَلَوْنِ الْحُبَيْقِ قَالَ وَكَانَ نَاسٌ يَتَيَمَّمُونَ شَرَّ ثِمَارِهِمْ فَيُخْرِجُونَهَا فِي الصَّدَقَةِ فَنُهُوا عَنْ لَوْنَيْنِ مِنَ التَّمْرِ فَنَزَلَتْ {وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُونَ} [البقرة 267]  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded for charity, and a man came forward with some broken items. Sufyan, referring to the man, said, "He means wooden items." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Who brought these?" No one used to bring anything unless it was attributed to the one who brought it. Then the verse was revealed, "And do not give the weak-minded your property, which Allah has made a means of sustenance for you" (Quran 2:267). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ also forbade using damaged items and the skin of the grape (as means of charity). Az-Zuhri said, "Two types of dates were used as charity."  

أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِصَدَقَةِ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ هَذَا السَّخْلِ بِكَبَائِسَ فَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ يَعْنِي الشِّيصَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ جَاءَ بِهَذَا؟» وَكَانَ لَا يَجِيءُ أَحَدٌ بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا نُسِبَ إِلَى الَّذِي جَلَبَهُ فَنَزَلَتْ {وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُونَ} [البقرة 267] قَالَ «وَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْجُعْرُورِ وَلَوْنِ الْحُبَيْقِ أَنْ يُؤْخَذَا فِي الصَّدَقَةِ» قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ «لَوْنَانِ مِنْ تَمْرِ الصَّدَقَةِ»  

[Machine] "People used to seek good omens by examining the characteristics of their fruits. So Allah, the Almighty, revealed the following verse: 'Do not seek to gain evil omens from it that you may spend your wealth, while you know its harm; and you will not obtain anything except that you overlook its evil.' [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:267] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then prohibited seeking omens from two things: the jujube fruit and the hubeiq fruit."  

كَانَ أُنَاسٌ يَتَيَمَّمُونَ شِرَارَ ثِمَارِهِمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُونَ وَلَسْتُمْ بِآخِذِيهِ إِلَّا أَنْ تُغْمِضُوا فِيهِ} [البقرة 267] قَالَ فَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ لَوْنَيْنِ عَنِ الْجُعْرُورِ وَعَنْ لَوْنِ الْحُبَيْقِ  

"Sahl bin Abi Hathmah came to us when we were in the market and said: "The Messenger of Allah said: When you have estimated, take two-thirds (of the portion you have estimated as Zakah) and leave one-third, and if you do not take (two-thirds) or leave one-third. (One of the reporters) Shu 'bah doubted - leave one quarter." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2491)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا خَرَصْتُمْ فَخُذُوا وَدَعُوا الثُّلُثَ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَأْخُذُوا أَوْ تَدَعُو الثُّلُثَ شَكَّ شُعْبَةُ فِي الثُّلُثِ فَدَعُوا الرُّبُعَ»  

[Machine] And he said: "When you come to a land, cultivate it and leave for them what they eat."  

وَقَالَ «إِذَا أَتَيْتَ أَرْضًا فَاخْرُصْهَا وَدَعْ لَهُمْ قَدْرَ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ»  

[Machine] A man from the Banu 'Amir passed by him, and it was said, "This man is one of the wealthiest people." Abu Huraira called him and asked him about that. It was said, "Yes, I have a hundred red camels, and I have a hundred black camels, and I have such and such a number of sheep." Abu Huraira said, "Beware of exaggerating in your camels and your sheep. Indeed, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'No man has camels, and he does not fulfill their rights regarding their food and water, their crossings, their difficulties and ease, except that a bald spot appears on his head, and he comes walking on his feet as a result of the camels walking on his feet. Whenever they pass, the last ones are sent back to him before the first ones on a day whose duration is fifty thousand years, until Allah judges between people, and he sees his path. And there is no servant who possesses cows and does not fulfill their rights regarding their food and water, their good condition, and their signs of health, except that a bald spot appears on his head, and he comes walking on his feet as a result of the cows walking on his feet. Whenever they pass, the last ones are sent back to him before the first ones on a day whose duration is fifty thousand years, until Allah judges between people, and he sees his path.'” Abbas said to him, "What are the rights of the camels, O Abu Huraira?" He said, "They should be given the best, they should be given water abundantly, they should be fattened, their backs should be protected, and they should be given milk."  

أَنَّهُ مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ فَقِيلَ هَذَا مِنْ أَكْثَرِ النَّاسِ مَالًا فَدَعَاهُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقِيلَ نَعَمْ لِي مِائَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ وَلِي مِائَةٌ أَدْمَاءُ وَلِي كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنَ الْغَنَمِ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ إِيَّاكَ وَأَخْفَافَ الْإِبِلِ إِيَّاكَ وَأَظْلَافَ الْغَنَمِ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَكُونُ لَهُ إِبِلٌ لَا يُؤَدِّي حَقَّهَا فِي نَجْدَتِهَا وَرِسْلِهَا عُسْرِهَا وَيُسْرِهَا إِلَّا بَرَزَ لَهُ بِقَاعٍ قَرْقَرٍ فَجَاءَتْهُ كَأَغَذِّ مَا تَكُونُ وَأَسَرَّهُ وَأَسْمَنَهُ أَوْ أَعْظَمَهُ شُعْبَةُ شَكَّ فَتَطَؤُهُ بِأَخْفَافِهَا وَتَنْطَحُهُ بِقُرُونِهَا كُلَّمَا جَازَتْ عَلَيْهِ أُخْرَاهَا أُعِيدَتْ عَلَيْهِ أُولَاهَا فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ حَتَّى يُقْضَى بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فَيَرَى سَبِيلَهُ وَمَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَكُونُ لَهُ بَقَرٌ لَا يُؤَدِّي حَقَّهَا فِي نَجْدَتِهَا وَرِسْلِهَا» قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَنَجْدِتِهَا وَرِسْلِهَا عُسْرِهَا وَيُسْرِهَا إِلَّا بَرَزَ لَهُ بِقَاعٍ قَرْقَرٍ كَأَغَذِّ مَا تَكُونُ وَأَسَرَّهُ وَأَسْمَنَهُ وَأَعْظَمَهُ فَتَطَؤُهُ بِأَظْلَافِهَا وَتَنْطَحُهُ بِقُرُونِهَا كُلَّمَا جَازَتْ عَلَيْهِ أُولَاهَا أُعِيدَتْ عَلَيْهِ أُخْرَاهَا فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فَيَرَى سَبِيلَهُ» فَقَالَ لَهُ الْعَبَّاسُ وَمَا حَقُّ الْإِبِلِ أَيْ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ؟ قَالَ «تُعْطِيَ الْكَرِيمَةَ وَتَمْنَحُ الْغَزِيرَةَ وَتُفْقِرُ الظُّهْرَ وَتُطْرِقُ الْفَحْلَ وَتَسْقِي اللَّبَنَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to take charity from the pre-Islamic treasures and he gave Bilal ibn al-Harith an agate. When Umar came, he said to Bilal, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ didn't give you this agate to keep it away from the people. He only gave it to you so that you could work with it." Umar then cut the agate for the people. Bukhari and Muslim both narrated this incident.  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَخَذَ فِي الْمَعَادِنِ الْقَبْلِيَّةِ الصَّدَقَةَ وَأَنَّهُ قَطَعَ لِبِلَالِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الْعَقِيقَ أَجْمَعَ» فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُمَرُ قَالَ لِبِلَالٍ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَقْطَعْكَ لِتَحْتَجِزَهُ عَنِ النَّاسِ لَمْ يَقْطَعْكَ إِلَّا لِيُعْمَلَ قَالَ فَأَقْطَعَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ لِلنَّاسِ الْعَقِيقَ «قَدِ احْتَجَّ الْبُخَارِيُّ بِنُعَيْمِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ وَمُسْلِمٌ بِالدَّرَاوَرْدِيِّ وَ  

the Messenger of Allah sent a man from Banu Makhzun to collect charity, so he said to Abu Rafi: "Accompany me so that perhaps you may have some of it." So he said: "Not until I ask the Messenger of Allah." So he went to the Prophet to ask him, and he said: "Charity is not lawful for us, and to be the Mawda of a people to be the same as them." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 657)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ لِأَبِي رَافِعٍ اصْحَبْنِي كَيْمَا نُصِيبَ مِنْهَا فَقَالَ لَا حَتَّى آتِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ لَا تَحِلُّ لَنَا وَإِنَّ مَوَالِيَ الْقَوْمِ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "The person who hoards will not enter Paradise." Yazid bin Harun said, "He means the one who engages in usury."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَدْخُلُ صَاحِبُ مَكْسٍ الْجَنَّةَ» قَالَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ «يَعْنِي الْعَشَّارَ»  

[Machine] Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ was in her house with some of his companions talking when a man came and said, "O Messenger of Allah, how much charity is required for such and such amount of dates?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "For such and such amount of dates, this much charity is required." Then the man said, "Indeed, so-and-so has wronged me and took from me such and such amount, increasing it by a sa' (a unit of measurement)." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "So what would you do if someone does more harm to you than this harm?" The people became engaged in the conversation and the narrative became fascinating, until a man among them said, "O Messenger of Allah, if a man who is absent from you takes care of his camels, his livestock, and his crops, and pays his Zakat (obligatory charity) on them, but his rights are violated, what should he do while he is absent?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever pays his Zakat with good intention, seeking the face of Allah and the Hereafter, and does not keep anything hidden from his wealth, and establishes the prayer and pays the Zakat, then if his rights are violated, he should take his weapon and fight, and if he is killed, he is a martyr."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ فِي بَيْتِهَا وَعِنْدَهُ رِجَالٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَمْ صَدَقَةُ كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنَ التَّمْرِ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنَ التَّمْرِ» فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ إِنَّ فُلَانًا تَعَدَّى عَلَيَّ فَأَخَذَ مِنِّي كَذَا وَكَذَا فَازْدَادَ صَاعًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَكَيْفَ إِذَا سُمِّي عَلَيْكُمْ مَنْ يَتَعَدَّى عَلَيْكُمْ أَشَدَّ مِنْ هَذَا التَّعَدِّي» فَخَاضَ النَّاسُ وَبَهَرَ الْحَدِيثُ حَتَّى قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ كَانَ رَجُلًا غَائِبًا عَنْكَ فِي إِبِلِهِ وَمَاشِيَتِهِ وَزَرْعِهِ فَأَدَّى زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ فَتَعَدَّى عَلَيْهِ الْحَقُّ فَكَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ وَهُوَ غَائِبٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَدَّى زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ طَيِّبَةً بِهَا نَفْسُهُ يُرِيدُ بِهِ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ لَمْ يُغَيِّبْ شَيْئًا مِنْ مَالِهِ وَأَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ وَأَدَّى الزَّكَاةَ فَتَعَدَّى عَلَيْهِ الْحَقُّ فَأَخَذَ سِلَاحَهُ فَقَاتَلَ فَقُتِلَ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ»  

[Machine] Al-Umari informed me that it wouldn't matter to you if you gained weight, and who before you would become lean, and who before me. And with God's assistance, Amr wrote: Peace be upon you. Afterward, I am here for you. A flock of camels has come to you, the first of which is with you, and the last of which is with me. Although I hope to find two ways to carry in the sea. When the first flock arrived, he called Zubair and said, "Go out with the first flock and face it tomorrow. Carry to each household what you can carry to me, and if you are unable to carry it, pass each household with a camel with what is on it, and let them dress people like we dressed them, and let them slaughter the camel, carry its hair, arrange its meat, and tan its skin. Then let them take a bowl of dough and a bowl of fat, and a handful of flour. So let them cook and eat until Allah brings them sustenance." Zubair refused to go out and said, "By Allah, you won't find anything like it until you leave this world." Then he called another person, who I think is Talha, and he came. Then he called Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah, and he participated in that. When he returned, he sent him one thousand dinars. Abu Ubaidah said, "I didn't do this for you, son of Khattab. I only did it for Allah, and I don't take anything in return for it." Umar said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave us some things that we were hesitant about, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ insisted on them. Accept it, O man, and seek assistance from it in your worldly affairs." Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah accepted it.  

أَخْبَرَنِي الْعُمَرِيُّ مَا تُبَالِي إِذَا سَمِنْتَ وَمَنْ قِبَلَكَ أَنْ أَعْجَفَ وَمَنْ قِبَلِي وَيَا غَوْثَاهُ فَكَتَبَ عَمْرٌو السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ لَبَّيْكَ لَبَّيْكَ أَتَتْكَ عِيرٌ أَوَّلُهَا عِنْدَكَ وَآخِرُهَا عِنْدِي مَعَ أَنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ أَجِدَ سَبِيلَانِ أَحْمِلُ فِي الْبَحْرِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ أَوَّلُ عِيرٍ دَعَا الزُّبَيْرَ فَقَالَ «اخْرُجْ فِي أَوَّلِ هَذِهِ الْعِيرِ فَاسْتَقْبِلْ بِهَا غَدًا فَاحْمِلْ إِلَى كُلِّ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ مَا قَدَرْتَ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ إِلَيَّ وَمَنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ حَمْلَهُ فَمُرْ لِكُلِّ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ بِبَعِيرٍ بِمَا عَلَيْهِ وَمُرْهُمْ فَلْيُلْبِسُوا النَّاسَ كَمَا أَتَيْنَ وَلْيَنْحَرُوا الْبَعِيرَ فَيَحْمِلُوا شَعْرَهُ وَلْيُقَدِّدُوا لَحْمَهُ وَلْيَحْتَذُوا جِلْدَهُ ثُمَّ لِيَأْخُذُوا كُبَّةً مِنْ قَدِيدٍ وَكُبَّةً مِنْ شَحْمٍ وَجَفْنَةٍ مِنْ دَقِيقٍ فَلْيَطْبُخُوا وَلْيَأَكْلُوا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِرِزْقٍ» فَأَبَى الزُّبَيْرِ أَنْ يَخْرُجُ فَقَالَ «أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَا تَجِدُ مِثْلَهَا حَتَّى تَخْرُجَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا» ثُمَّ دَعَا آخَرَ أَظُنُّهُ طَلْحَةَ فَأَتَى ثُمَّ دَعَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ فَخَرَجَ فِي ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ بِأَلْفِ دِينَارٍ فَقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَعْمَلْ لَكَ يَا ابْنَ خَطَّابٍ إِنَّمَا عَمِلْتُ لِلَّهِ وَلَسْتُ آخُذُ فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ «قَدْ أَعْطَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي أَشْيَاءَ بَعَثَنَا فِيهَا فَكَرِهْنَا فَأَبَى ذَلِكَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاقْبَلْهَا أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ وَاسْتَعِنْ بِهَا عَلَى دُنْيَاكَ» فَقَبِلَهَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ  

The Prophet ﷺ as saying: When we appoint someone to an administrative post and provide him with an allowance, anything he takes beyond that is unfaithful dealing. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2943)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنِ اسْتَعْمَلْنَاهُ عَلَى عَمَلٍ فَرَزَقْنَاهُ رِزْقًا فَمَا أَخَذَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ غُلُولٌ»  

Al-Mustawrid heard the Prophet ﷺ say: He who acts as an employee for us must get a wife; if he has not a servant, he must get one, and if he has not a dwelling, he must get one. He said that Abu Bakr reported: I was told that the Prophet ﷺ said: He who takes anything else he is unfaithful or thief. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2945)  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ كَانَ لَنَا عَامِلًا فَلْيَكْتَسِبْ زَوْجَةً وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ خَادِمٌ فَلْيَكْتَسِبْ خَادِمًا وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَسْكَنٌ فَلْيَكْتَسِبْ مَسْكَنًا» قَالَ وَأُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنِ اتَّخَذَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ غَالٌّ أَوْ سَارِقٌ»  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: The official who collects sadaqah (zakat) in a just manner is like him who fights in Allah's path till he returns home. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2936)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْعَامِلُ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ بِالْحَقِّ كَالْغَازِي فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ»  

[Machine] Sufyan used to pray with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, facing both Qiblas. He said, the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, "The best charity is that given by a person with surplus wealth to his relatives."  

سُفْيَانُ وَكَانَتْ قَدْ صَلَّتْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْقِبْلَتَيْنِ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ عَلَى ذِي الرَّحِمِ الْكَاشِحِ»  

the Messenger of Allah said: “Charity given to the poor is charity, and that given to a relative is two things: charity and upholding the ties of kinship.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1844)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ عَلَى الْمِسْكِينِ صَدَقَةٌ وَإِنَّهَا عَلَى ذِي الرَّحِمِ اثْنَتَانِ صَدَقَةٌ وَصِلَةٌ
