9. THE BOOK OF ZAKĀT

English translation

1556. It was reported from Al-Laith, from 'Aqīl, from Az-Zuhri, that 'Ubaidullāh bin 'Abdullāh bin 'Utbah informed him from Abū Hurairah, who said: "After the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ passed away, and Abū Bakr was in charge after him, and (some of) the Arabs disbelieved, 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb said to Abū Bakr: 'How can you fight the people, even though the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "I have been commanded to fight the people until they say: 'Lā ilāha illallāh' (None has the right to be worshipped but Allāh). So whoever says 'Lā ilāha illallāh' has protected his wealth and his life from me, except for a right, and his judgment will be with Allāh?"'" Abū Bakr said: 'I swear by Allāh, I will fight those who differentiate between As-Salāt (the prayer) and the Zakāt, for the Zakāt is a right upon wealth. I swear by Allāh, if they refuse to give me an 'Iqāl[1] that they used to give to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, I will fight them for that.' So 'Umar said: 'I swear by Allāh, as soon as I saw that Allāh had opened the chest of Abū Bakr (guided him) to fight, I knew that [1] 'Iqāl is the rope or cord with which the camel is tied. The scholars differ over its meaning and relation to the argument here. this was the truth.” (Ṣaḥīh) Abū Dāwūd said: It was reported by Rabāḥ bin Zaid and ‘Abdur-Razzāq from Ma’mar, from Az-Zuhrī, with his chain. Some of them said: “Iqāl.” While Ibn Wahb reported it from Yūnus, he (instead) said: “Anāq” (a female kid goat). Abū Dāwūd said: Shu’aib bin Abī Ḥamzah, Ma’mar, and Az-Zubaidi all said, (in the narration) from Az-Zuhrī for this Ḥadīth that he said: “If they refuse to give me an Ināq.” ‘Anbasah reported a Ḥadīth from Yūnus from Az-Zuhrī, he said: “Ināq.”[1]

1567. It was reported from Hammād, that he said: "I took from Thumāmah bin 'Abdullah bin Anas a letter which he claimed that Abū Bakr had written to Anas, and which had the seal of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ on it. This was written when he (the Prophet ﷺ) had sent Anas as a collector of Zakāt, and so he had written this for him. It said in it: "These are the (details of the) obligation which the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ has obligated upon the Muslims in regard to charity, and which Allāh has commanded His Prophet, peace be upon him. So whoever is asked in accordance with this from among the Muslims, he should give it, and whoever is asked more than this, he should not give it. "For any number of camels less than twenty-five, one sheep is to be given for every five camels. If they reach twenty-five, one Bint Makhād[1] should be given, up to thirty-five. If he does not have a Bint Makhād, then he may give a Ibn Labūn.[2] "If the number reaches thirty-six, then for them is a Bint Labūn,[3] up to forty-five. So when it reaches forty-six, then a Hiqqah[4] that can breed with a stallion camel is due, up to sixty. "If the number reaches sixty-one, then a Jadh'ah[5] is due, up to seventy-five. If the number reaches seventy-six, then two Bint Labūns are due, up to ninety. If the number reaches ninety-one, then two Hiqqahs that can breed with stallion camels are due, up to one hundred and twenty. If there are more than one-hundred and twenty, then for every forty a Bint Labūn, and for every fifty a Hiqqah. “In the event that a person does not have a camel of the age specified according to the Ṣadaqah regulations, then if a person owes a Jadh'ah as Ṣadaqah but he does not have a Jadh'ah, then a Hiqqah should be accepted from him if he has one, and he should give two sheep along with it if they are available, or twenty Dirhams. “If he owes a Hiqqah as Ṣadaqah and he does not have a Hiqqah but he has a Jadh'ah, then it should be accepted from him, and the Zakāt collector should give him twenty Dirhams, or two sheep if they are available. If a person owes a Hiqqah as Ṣadaqah and he does not have one, but he has a Bint Labūn, it should be accepted from him, — Abū Dāwūd said: From here I do not have it as precise from Mūsā (the narrator) as would be preferred — and he should give two sheep along with it if they are available, or twenty Dirhams. “If a person owes a Bint Labūn as Ṣadaqah but he only has a Hiqqah, then it should be accepted from him — Abū Dāwūd said: Up to here, then I have it more precisely — and the Zakāt collector should give him twenty Dirhams, or two sheep. “If a person owes a Bint Labūn as Ṣadaqah but he only has a Bint Makhād, then it should be accepted from him, and he should give two sheep along with it if they are available, or twenty Dirhams. “If a person owes a Bint Makhād as Ṣadaqah but he only has an Bin Labūn, a male; it should be accepted from him, and he does not have to give anything else along with it. If a person has only four camels he does not have to give anything unless their owner wants to. With regard to the Ṣadaqah on grazing sheep, if there are forty, then one sheep is due upon them, up to one-hundred and twenty. If there is one more, then two sheep are due, up to two-hundred. If there is more, then three sheep are due, up to three-hundred. If there is more than that, then for every hundred, one sheep is due. “No decrepit, defective or male sheep should be taken as Ṣadaqah unless the Zakāh collector wishes. Do not combine separate flocks nor separate combined flocks for fear of Ṣadaqah. Each partner (who has a share in a combined flock) should pay the Ṣadaqah in proportion to his shares. If a man's flock does not reach forty sheep, then nothing is due from them, unless their owner wishes. With regard to silver, one-quarter of one-tenth, and if there is no wealth except one-hundred-and-ninety Dirhams, no Zakāt is due unless the owner wishes.” (Ṣaḥīh)

1568. It was reported from Sufyān bin Ḥusain, from Az-Zuhri, from Sālim, from his father, who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ wrote a letter (detailing the rules) of Sadaqah, but he was not able to send it to his collectors until he passed away. He had kept it with his sword. Abū Bakr acted upon this (letter) until he passed away, and 'Umar acted upon it until he passed away. It was (written) in it: Upon five camels, there is one sheep due. And upon ten, there is two sheep, and upon fifteen, three sheep, and upon twenty, four sheep. And upon twenty-five, a Bint Makhād, up to thirty-five. If there is even one more (camel) than this, one Bint Labūn must be given, up to forty-five. If there is even one more (camel) than this, one Hiqqah must be given, up to sixty. If there is even one more than this, one Jadh'ah must be given, up to seventy-five. "If there is even one more than this, two Bint Labūns must be given, up to ninety. If there is even one more than this, two Hiqqahs must be given, up to one-hundred and twenty. If the camels are more than this, then for every fifty, one Hiqqah is given, and for every forty, one Bint Labūn. "With regards to sheep, then for every forty sheep, one sheep is to be given, up to one-hundred and twenty sheep. If there is one more than this, then two sheep, up to two-hundred sheep. If there is more than two-hundred, then three sheep are due, up to three-hundred. If the sheep are more than that, then for every one-hundred sheep, one sheep is due, and nothing needs to be given unless one-hundred are reached. "And different (flocks) should not be joined together, nor should a combined (flock) be separated for fear of giving (extra) charity. "Each partner (who has a share in a combined flock) should pay the Sadaqah in proportion to his shares. "And an animal that is old, or a defective animal, will not be accepted for charity." Az-Zuhri said: "When the Zakāt collector comes, the sheep are to be divided into three divisions: A third of them should be the worst (sheep of the flock), and a third of them the best, and a third in the moderate. And the one collecting charity should take from the moderate ones." And Az-Zuhri did not mention this division for cows. (Hasan)

1571. Mālik bin Anas explained the statement of ‘Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb, May Allāh be pleased with him: “And different (flocks) should not be joined together, nor should a combined (flock) be separated for fear of giving (extra) charity,” — as follows: “This is as, for example, when each person (in a company of three) has forty sheep, and when the collector is about to come, they combine them all together, in which case there will only be one sheep due. And a case of when a combined flock is separated is when two partners each own one-hundred and one sheep, so the total due on them would be three sheep, but when the collector comes, they divide the flock among themselves, such that each one of them only owes one sheep. And this (explanation) is what I have heard regarding it.” (Sahīh)

1572. It was reported from Zuhair that Abū Ishāq narrated to them from ‘Āsim bin Ḍamrah, and Al-Hārith bin Al-A‘war, from ‘Ali, may Allāh be pleased with him that he said: Zuhair (one of the narrators) added: “I think it was from the Prophet ﷺ” — “Give one fourth of ten (2.5 %) — from every forty Dirhams, one Dirhams. And you do not have to give anything until two-hundred Dirhams are completed. So if there are two hundred Dirhams, five Dirhams need to be given. And whatever is more is thus (proportionally) measured. “With regards to sheep, for every forty sheep, one sheep must be given. And if there are only thirty-nine sheep, then nothing is due upon you...” and he continued elaborating on the Sadaqah on sheep similar to what was said by Az-Zuhri'. Then he said: "With regard to cows, then for every thirty, you must give one Tabi',[1] and for every forty, you must give one Musinnah.[2] And nothing is due on animals meant for manual labor. With regard to camels..." Then he mentioned the Sadaqah for them as was mentioned by Az-Zuhri' (no. 1570). He said: "...and for twenty-five (camels), five sheep must be given. If there is even one more, then a Bint Makhāḍ must be given, but if one is not available, then one Ibn Labūn may be given. This is the case for up to thirty-five (camels), but if there is even one more, then a Bint Labūn must be given, up to forty-five. And if there is even one more, then a Hiqqah — one which a stallion can breed with — is to be given, up to sixty..." then he quoted similar to the narration of Az-Zuhri'. And he said: "...so if there is even one more than this (meaning nine-one camels), then two Hiqqahs which stallions can breed with must be given, up to one-hundred and twenty (camels). And if there are more camels than that, then for every fifty, one Hiqqah is due. "And different (flocks) should not be joined together, nor should a combined (flock) be separated for fear of giving (extra) charity. “And no old sheep whose teeth have fallen off will be accepted in charity, nor any defective sheep, nor a male goat unless the one giving charity volunteers to do so. “With regards to produce, then a tenth is due on whatever is irrigated by (natural) streams or rainfall, and half of a tenth (5 %) is due on whatever is irrigated by bucket (manually).” In the narration of ‘Āšim and Al-Ĥārith (it is): “Charity is due every year” and Zuhair said: “I think he said: ‘One time.’” And in the narration of ‘Āšim: “If neither a Bint Makhāḍ among camels nor a Ibn Labūn, then ten Dirham or two sheep must be given.” (Daʿif)

1573. (Another chain) from Abū Ishāq, from ‘Āšim bin ǧamrah and Al-Ĥārith Al-Aʿwar, from ‘Ali, from the Prophet ﷺ. In part of the beginning of this Hadīth he said: “...So if you have two-hundred Dirhams, and a year passes, then five Dirhams are due upon it. And nothing is due upon you — meaning with regards to gold — until you have twenty Dinārs. So if you have twenty Dinārs, and a year passes, then half a Dinār is due upon it. And if you have more, then it will be proportional to that...” He (one of the narrators) said: "I do not know if 'Alī is the one who said: 'Then it will be proportional to that' or did he attribute it to the Prophet ﷺ." (He then continued) "And there is no Zakāt on money until one year passes." — except that Jarīr (a narrator) said: "Ibn Wahb added in his Hadīth, from the Prophet ﷺ: "And there is no Zakāt on money until one year passes."

He (the owner) said: ‘I want you to take my best camel!’ But he (the collector) refused to take it. So he reined in another one, slightly smaller than it, but he still refused to accept it. Then he reined it another one, still smaller than it, and he accepted it, saying; ‘I am worried that if I take it, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ will find something against me (reprimand me), and say to me: “You went to a person and chose a camel of your choice!” (Da’if) Abū Dāwud said: Hushaim reported it from Hilāl bin Khabbāb similarly, but he said: “A flock joined together should not be separated.”

My father sent me to a group of them, and I came to an old man called Si'r. I said to him: 'My father has sent me to you — meaning to collect your Sadaqah.' He said: 'My nephew, and what type will you take?' I replied: 'We will choose, and examine the udders of the goats.' He said: 'Nephew, allow me to narrate to you: I was once in a valley among these valleys with some goats of mine during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. Two men on a camel came to me, and said: "We are the messengers of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ to you, that you give us the Ṣadaqah due on your goats." I said: "What is due upon me?" They said: "One goat." So I went to a sheep — I knew precisely where it was — which was producing milk, and was fat, and I took it out for them. They said: "This is a goat Shāfi,"[1] and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ has forbidden us to take a Shāfi." So I said: "So what type will you take?" They said: "A young female kid — a Jadh'ah or Thaniyyah."[2] So I went to a young, large and fat female goat — one that had not yet given birth but was old enough to do so — and took it out for them. They said, "Hand this one to us," and they took it, placed it on their camel, and left."

For Allāh did not ask you for the best of them, nor did He command you to give the worst of them."

1583. Ubayy bin Ka'b narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sent me to collect the Zakāt. So I passed by a person, and when he gathered his wealth for me, I found that he only owed a Bint Makhād. So I said to him: 'Pay this Bint Makhād, Ṣadaqah.' He replied: 'That (animal) neither gives milk, nor is it suitable for riding! But here is a she-camel that is strong, large, and fat — so take it.' I said: 'I will not take what I have not been commanded to take. But here is the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ — not too far from where we are — so if you wish to go to him, and suggest to him what you suggested to me, then do so. And if he accepts this from you, then I will take it, and if he rejects it, then I will not take it.' He said: 'That is what I will do,' and he went with me, along with the camel that he had offered to me, until we came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. He said: 'O Prophet of Allāh! Your messenger came to me in order to take the Ṣadaqah due on my wealth. And I swear by Allāh, never before has the Messenger of Allāh, nor his messenger, ever evaluated my wealth, so I gathered my wealth for him. He said that I owe a Bint Makhād, but the one (that I have) does not give milk, nor is it suitable for riding. So I offered him a large, healthy she-camel that he may take it (instead), but he refused. And it is this one here, I brought it to you O Messenger of Allāh, so take it.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'That is what is due upon you, but if you voluntarily wish to give something better, Allāh will reward you for it, and we will accept it from you.' He said: 'Here it is, O Messenger of Allāh, I brought it to you, so take it.' So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ commanded that it be taken, and he supplicated for him that he be blessed in his wealth."

And he added: "...young or old. And he commanded that it be paid before people go out for the prayer." (Ṣaḥīh) Abū Dāwūd said: 'Abdullāh Al-'Umarī reported it from Nāfi' with his chain, he said: "upon every Muslim" Sa'eed Al-Jumāhī reported it from 'Ubaidullāh, from Nāfi', he said in it: "among the Muslims." And what is popular is that the narration of 'Ubaidullāh does not contain: "among the Muslims."

He spoke to the people (standing) on the Minbar, and among what he said was: 'I see that two Mudd of the Samrā[1] of Ash-Shām is equivalent to one Ṣā' of dried dates.' So the people took this ruling.” Abū Sa‘eed said: “As for me, I will continue to pay it (as I used to pay it), as long as I live.” (Saḥīh) Abū Dāwūd said: It was reported by Ibn ‘Ulayyah, ‘Abdah, and others, from Ibn Ishāq, from ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Uthmān bin Ḥakīm bin Hīzām, from ‘Iyāḍ from Abū Sa‘eed with its meaning. And one of them who reported it from Ibn ‘Ulayyah mentioned: “or (one) Ṣā’ of (wheat) Ḥīntah.” But it is not (a) preserved (narration).

Humaid said: "Al-Ḥasan used to hold the opinion that the Zakāt of Ramaḍān was only due upon those who fasted." (Da'if)

My family said to me: 'Go to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and ask him for something that we can eat,' and they started mentioning their needs. So I went to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, but found a man already there, asking of him. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'I don't have anything to give you,' so the man turned away angrily and said: 'I swear, you only give to those whom you want!' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ replied: 'He gets angry at me because I don't have anything to give him! Whoever asks among you while he has one Uqiyyah, then has indeed asked unjustly!'" The man from the tribe of Banū Asad said to himself: "Indeed, our she-camel is more precious than an Uqiyyah." — And Uqiyyah is equal to forty Dirham. — "So he returned, and did not ask for anything. He said: "After that, some barely and raisins were sent to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and he gave us a share of it, until Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, made us self-sufficient (of asking)." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

And he ordered Mu'āwiyah to write what they wanted. So as for Al-Aqra', he took the letter, wrapped it in his turban, and left. And as for 'Uyainah, he took the letter and came to the place where the Prophet ﷺ was at, and said: 'O Muḥammad! Do you think that I will carry a letter to my people while I don't know what is written in it, just like the letter of Al-Mutalammis?' Mu'āwiyah informed the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ of what he had said. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ replied: 'Whoever asks while he has what will suffice him, he only increases (asking) for the Fire.” Another time, An-Nufailī (one of the narrators) said: “the coals of Hell” — “They said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh! And what counts as being sufficient’” — Another time, An-Nufailī said: “and what counts as being enough such that he is prohibited from asking?” — “He replied: ‘Enough to feed him his morning meal and dinner.’” — Another time An-Nufailī said: “That he has enough to feed himself to his full for a day and night, or for a night and day.” And he would narrate it to us in abridged form with wording like that which I mentioned.

Begging is not permitted except for one of three (people): A person who undertook the responsibility of paying off a debt on behalf of another, so he may ask until he gets what he needs, then he should desist; and a person who was afflicted with a catastrophe, and whose wealth was destroyed, so it is permissible for him to ask, and he asks until he obtains his minimal needs — or he said — his bare needs; and a person who became poor, (but in this case he may not ask) until three intelligent people from his community say that so-and-so has become poor. In this case he may ask until he obtains his minimal needs, or his bare needs, then he should desist. Any begging besides this, O Qabiṣah, is evil wealth that a person consumes in sin.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

So he brought it to him, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ attached a stick to it with his own hands, and then said to him: "Go and collect firewood, and sell it, and let me not see you for fifteen days." The man went collecting firewood and selling it, and then returned, with ten Dirhams. He purchased a garment with some of it, and food with some of it. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "This is better for you than your begging coming to you as a blemish on your face on the Day of Judgment.

One person said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! We have already given you our pledge, so what are we pledging our allegiance to (now)?' He said: 'That you worship Allāh, and do not associate any partners with Him, and that you pray the five prayers, and that you hear and obey (your rulers)...,' and then he said something very softly, '...and that you do not ask people for anything.'
