24 - THE BOOK OF ZAKĀT

English translation

1395. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما رضي الله عنه: the Prophet ﷺ sent Mu'ādh رضي الله عنه to Yemen and said, "Invite the people to testify that Lā ilāha illallāh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh) and I am Allāh's Messenger (Islāmic Monotheism), and if they obey you to do so, then inform them that Allāh has enjoined on them five Ṣalāt (prayer) in every day and night (in twenty-four hours), and if they obey you to do so, then inform them that Allāh has made it obligatory for them to pay the Sadaqā(2) (1) Zakāt: A certain fixed proportion of the wealth and of every kind of the property liable to Zakāt of a Muslim to be paid yearly for the benefit of the poor in the Muslim community. The payment of Zakāt is obligatory, as it is one of the five pillars of Islām. Zakāt is the major economic means for establishing social justice and leading the Muslim society to prosperity and security. Zakāt is meant for eight types of people, as mentioned in the Noble Qur'ān: Aṣ-Ṣadaqa (here it means Zakāt) are only for the (1) Fuqārā (poor), (2) and Al-Masākīn (poor), (3) and those employed to collect (the funds), (4) and for to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islām); (5) and to free the captives; (6) and for those in debt; (7) and for Allāh's Cause (i.e. for Mujāhidūn - those fighting in a holy battle), (8) and for the way-farer (a traveller who is cut off from everything); a duty imposed by Allāh. And Allāh is All-Knower, All-Wise. (V.9:60). (Zakât) from their properties, and it is to be taken from the wealthy among them and given to the poor among them.” [See Hadith No.1496].

1400. In continuation of the narration of Abū Hurairah (No. 1399) Abū Bakr said, "By Allāh! I will fight those who differentiate between Aṣ-Ṣalāt (the prayer) and the Zakāt; as Zakāt is the compulsory right to be taken from the property (according to Allāh's Orders). By Allāh! If they refuse to pay me even a she-kid which they used to pay at the time of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, I will fight with them for withholding it". Then 'Umar said, "By Allāh, it was nothing, but Allāh opened Abū Bakr's chest towards the decision (to fight) and I came to know that his decision was right."

1406. Narrated Zaid bin Wahab: "I passed by a place called Ar-Rabadha and by chance I met Abū D̄har رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ and asked him, "What has brought you to this place?" He said, "I was in Shām and differed with Mu'āwiya on the meaning of (the following Verses of the Qur'ān): 'And those who hoard up gold and silver (Al-Kanz - money, the Zakāt of which is not paid) and spend it not in the Way of Allāh.'" (V.9:34). Mu'āwiya said, "This Verse is revealed regarding the people of the Scriptures." I said, "It was revealed regarding us and also the people of the Scriptures." So we had a quarrel and Mu'āwiya sent a complaint against me to 'Uthmān رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ. 'Uthmān wrote to me to come to Al-Madīna, and I came to Al-Madīna. Many people came to me as if they had not seen me before. So, I told this to 'Uthmān who said to me, "You may depart and live nearby if you wish."

Narrated Al-Ahṇaf bin Qais: While I was sitting with some people from Quraish, a man with very rough hair, clothes, and appearance came and stood in front of us, greeted us and said, "Inform those who hoard wealth, that a stone will be heated in the Hell-fire and will be put on the nipples of their breasts till it comes out from the bones of their shoulders, and then put on the bones of their shoulders till it comes through the nipples of their breasts, the stone will be moving and hitting.” After saying that, that person retreated and sat by the side of the pillar, I followed him and sat beside him, and I did not know who he was. I said to him, “I think the people disliked what you had said.” He said, “These people do not understand anything.”

No, by Allāh, neither I ask them for worldly benefits nor am I in need of their religious verdicts and advices till I meet Allāh, the Honourable, the Majestic.’”

١٤١٣. Narrated 'Adī bin Hātīm رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: While I was sitting with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, two persons came to him; one of them complained about his poverty and the other complained about the prevalence of robberies. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "As regards stealing and robberies, there will shortly come a time when a caravan will go to Makkah (from Al-Madina) without any guard. And regarding poverty, The Hour (the Day of Judgement) will not be established till one of you wanders about with his object of charity and will not find anybody to accept it. And (no doubt) each one of you will stand in front of Allāh تعالى and there will be neither a screen nor an interpreter between him and Allāh, and Allāh تعالى will ask him, 'Did not I give you wealth?' He will reply in the affirmative. Allāh تعالى will further ask, 'Didn't I send a Messenger to you?' And again that person will reply in the affirmative. Then he will look to his right and he will see nothing but Hell-fire, and then he will look to his left and will see nothing but Hell-fire. So, let each one of you save himself from the Hell-fire even by giving half of a date-fruit (in charity). And if you do not find a half date-fruit, then (you can do it through saying) a good pleasant word (to your Muslim brother).” (See Hadith No.3595, Vol.4).

(When Zainab bint Jahsh died first of all in the caliphate of 'Umar), we came to know that the long hand was a symbol of practising charity, so, she was the first to follow the Prophet ﷺ and she used to love to practise charity.

1421. Narrated Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, “A man said that he would give something in charity. He went out with his object of charity and unknowingly gave it to a thief. Next morning, the people said that he had given his object of charity to a thief. (On hearing that) he said, ‘O Allāh! All the praises and thanks are for You. I will give alms again.’ And so, he again went out with his alms and (unknowingly) gave it to an adulteress. Next morning, the people said that he had given his alms to an adulteress last night. The man said, 'O Allāh! All the praises and thanks are for You. (I gave my alms) to an adulteress. I will give alms again.' So, he went out with his alms again and (unknowingly) gave it to a rich person. (The people) next morning said that he had given his alms to a wealthy person. He said, 'O Allāh! All the praises and thanks are for You. (I had given alms) to a thief, to an adulteress and to a wealthy man.' Then someone came and said to him, "The alms which you gave to the thief, might make him abstain from stealing, and that given to the adulteress might make her abstain from illegal sexual intercourse (adultery), and that given to the wealthy man might make him take a lesson from it and spend his wealth which Allāh has given him, in Allāh's Cause."

I said, 'A man's Al-Fitnah caused by his wife, children and neighbours is expiated by (his) Ṣalāt (prayer), charity, and enjoining Al-Ma'rūf (Islāmic Monotheism and all that Islām ordains).’ (The subnarrator Sulaimān added that he said, ‘The Ṣalāt (prayer), charity, enjoining Al-Ma’rūf and forbidding Al-Munkar (disbelief, polytheism, and all that Islām has forbidden).’ Umar said, ‘I did not mean that, but I ask about that Al-Fitnah which will spread like the waves of the sea.’ I said, ‘O chief of the believers! You need not be afraid of it as there is a closed door between you and it.’ He asked, ‘Will the door be broken or opened?’ I replied, ‘No, it will be broken.’ He said, ‘Then, if it is broken, it will never be closed again?’ I replied, ‘Yes.’’ We were afraid to ask him about that door, so we asked Masrūq to inquire, and he asked Hudhaifa regarding it. Hudhaifa said, “The door was ‘Umar رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ. We further asked Hudhaifa whether ‘Umar knew what that door meant.

1454. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: When Abû Bakr رضي الله عنه sent me to (collect the Zakât from) Baḥrain, he wrote to me the following: (In the Name of Allâh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful). These are the orders for Zakât which Allâh's Messenger ﷺ had made obligatory for every Muslim, and which Allâh had ordered His Messenger ﷺ to observe: Whoever amongst the Muslims is asked to pay Zakât accordingly, he should pay it (to the Zakât collector) and whoever is asked more than that (what is specified in this script) he should not pay it. For twenty-four (24) camels or less, sheep are to be paid as Zakât; for every five (5) camels one (1) sheep is to be paid, and if there are between twenty-five (25) to thirty-five (35) camels, one (1) Bint Makhâd (one-year-old she-camel) is to be paid; and if they are between thirty-six (36) to forty-five (45) camels, one (1) Bint Labûn (two-years-old she-camel) is to be paid; and if they are between forty-six (46) to sixty (60) camels, one (1) Hiqqa (three-years-old she-camel) is to be paid; and if the number is between sixty-one (61) to seventy-five (75) camels, one (1) Jadh'a (four-years-old she-camel) is to be paid; and if the number is between seventy-six (76) to ninety (90) camels, two (2) Bint Labûn are to be paid; and if they are from ninety-one (91) to one hundred and twenty (120) camels, two (2) Hiqqas are to be paid; and if they are over one hundred and twenty (120) camels, for every forty (40) [over one hundred and twenty (120)] one (1) Bint Labûn is to be paid, and for every fifty (50) camels [over one hundred and twenty (120)], one (1) Hiqqa is to be paid; and whoever has got only four (4) camels, has to pay nothing as Zakât, but if the owner of these four (4) camels, wants to give something, he can. If the number of camels increases to five (5), the owner has to pay one (1) sheep as Zakât. As regards the Zakât for the (flock) of sheep; if they are between forty (40) and one hundred and twenty (120) (sheep), one (1) sheep is to be in Zakât; and if they are between one hundred and twenty (120) to two hundred (200) (sheep), two (2) sheep are to be paid; and if they are between two hundred (200) to three hundred (300) (sheep), three (3) sheep are to be paid; and for over three hundred (300) sheep, for every extra one hundred (100) sheep, one (1) sheep is to be paid as Zakât. [No Zakât for sheep less the forty (40)] And if somebody has got less than forty (40) sheep, no Zakât is required, but if he wants to give, he can. For silver: the Zakât is one-fortieth of the lot (i.e. 2.5%), and if its value is less than two hundred (200) Dirhams [i.e. approx. six hundred and forty (640) Grams] there is no Zakât but if the owner wants to pay he can.1

Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to go there and used to drink its nice water." Anas added, "When these Verses were revealed: 'By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness — here it means Allāh's reward i.e., Paradise) unless you spend (in Allāh's Cause) of that which you love...' (V.3:92) Abū Ṭalḥa said to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ 'O Allāh's Messenger! Allāh, the Blessed, the Superior says: By no means shall you attain Al-Birr unless you spend (in Allāh's Cause) of that which you love. And no doubt, Bairuḥā' garden is the most beloved of all my property to me. So, I want to give it in charity in Allāh's Cause. I expect its reward from Allāh. O Allāh's Messenger ﷺ! Spend it where Allāh makes you think it feasible.' On that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, 'Bravo! It is useful property. I have heard what you have said (O Abū Ṭalḥa), and I think it would be proper if you gave it to your kith and kin.' Abū Ṭalḥa said, 'I will do so, O Allāh's Messenger.' Then Abū Ṭalḥa distributed that garden amongst his relatives and his cousins."

Give alms, for I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." The women asked, "O Allāh's Messenger! What is the reason for it?" He replied, "O women! You curse frequently, and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. O women, some of you can lead a cautious wise man astray." Then he left. And when he reached his house, Zainab, the wife of Ibn Mas'ud, came and asked permission to enter. It was said, "O Allâh's Messenger! It is Zainab." He asked, "Which Zainab?" The reply was that she was the wife of Ibn Mas'ud. He said, "Yes, allow her to enter." And she was admitted. Then she said, "O Prophet of Allâh! Today, you ordered people to give alms and I had an ornament and intended to give it as alms, but Ibn Mas'ud said that he and his children deserved it more than anybody else." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Ibn Mas'ud had spoken the truth. Your husband and your children had more right to it than anybody else."

1462 - حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي زَيْدٌ هُوَ ابْنُ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أَضْحًى أَوْ فِطْرٍ إِلَى المُصَلَّى، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ، فَوَعَظَ النَّاسَ، وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالصَّدَقَةِ، فَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، تَصَدَّقُوا»، فَمَرَّ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ، فَقَالَ: «يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ، تَصَدَّقْنَ، فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُكُنَّ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ» فَقُلْنَ: وَبِمَ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ، وَتَكْفُرْنَ العَشِيرَ، مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَاقِصَاتِ عَقْلٍ وَدِينٍ، أَذْهَبَ لِلُبِّ الرَّجُلِ الحَازِمِ، مِنْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ، يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ» ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ، فَلَمَّا صَارَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ، جَاءَتْ زَيْنَبُ، امْرَأَةُ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، تَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْهِ، فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَذِهِ زَيْنَبُ، فَقَالَ: «أَيُّ الزَّيَانِبِ؟» فَقِيلَ: امْرَأَةُ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: «نَعَمْ، ائْذَنُوا لَهَا» فَأُذِنَ لَهَا، قَالَتْ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، إِنَّكَ أَمَرْتَ اليَوْمَ بِالصَّدَقَةِ، وَكَانَ عِنْدِي حُلِيٌّ لِي، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ بِهِ، فَزَعَمَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ: أَنَّهُ وَوَلَدَهُ أَحَقُّ مَنْ تَصَدَّقْتُ بِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «صَدَقَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، زَوْجُكِ وَوَلَدُكِ أَحَقُّ مَنْ تَصَدَّقْتِ بِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ»

1465. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī رضي الله عنه: Once the Prophet ﷺ sat on a pulpit and we sat around him. Then he said, "The things I am afraid of most for your sake (concerning what will befall you after me) is the pleasures and splendours of the world and its beauties which will be disclosed to you." Somebody said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Can the good bring forth evil?" The Prophet ﷺ remained silent for a while. It was said to that person, "What is wrong with you? You are talking to the Prophet ﷺ while he is not talking to you." Then we noticed that he ﷺ was being inspired Divinely. Then the Prophet ﷺ wiped off his sweat and said, "Where is the questioner?" It seemed as if the Prophet ﷺ liked his question. Then he said, "Good never brings forth evil. Indeed it is like what grows on the banks of a water-stream which either kills or makes the animals sick, except if an animal eats its fill the Khadirā (a kind of vegetable) and then faces the sun, and then passes out dung and urine, and grazes again. No doubt this wealth is sweet and green. Blessed is the wealth of a Muslim from which he gives to the poor, the orphans and to needy travellers (Or the Prophet ﷺ said something similar to it). No doubt, whoever takes it illegally will be like the one who eats but is never satisfied, and his wealth will be a witness against him on the Day of Resurrection."

Zainab used to provide for 'Abdullāh and those orphans who were under her protection. So she said to 'Abdullāh, "Will you ask Allāh's Messenger ﷺ whether it will be sufficient for me to spend part of the Zakāt on you and the orphans who are under my protection?" He said : , "You yourself ask Allāh's Messenger ﷺ (about it)." (Zainab added) : So, I went to the Prophet ﷺ and I saw there an Anṣārī woman who was standing at the door (of the Prophet ﷺ) with a similar problem as mine. Bilāl passed by us and we asked him, 'Ask the Prophet ﷺ whether it is permissible for me to spend in charity on my husband and the orphans under my protection.' And we requested Bilāl not to inform the Prophet ﷺ about us. So Bilāl went inside and asked the Prophet ﷺ regarding our problem. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Who are those two?" Bilāl replied that she was Zainab. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Which Zainab?" Bilāl said, "The wife of 'Abdullāh (bin Mas'ūd)." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, (it is sufficient for her) and she will receive a double reward (for that): One for helping relatives, and the other for giving Aṣ-Ṣadaqa (charity etc.)."

1468. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ ordered (a person) to collect Zakāt, and that person returned and told him that Ibn Jamīl, Khalid bin Al-Walīd, and 'Abbās bin 'Abdul Muṭṭalib had refused to give Zakāt." The Prophet ﷺ said, "What made Ibn Jamīl refuse to give Zakāt; though he was a poor man, and was made wealthy by Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ? But you are unfair in asking Zakāt from Khalid as he is keeping his armour for Allāh's Cause (for Jihād)(1). As for 'Abbās bin 'Abdul Muṭṭalib, he is the uncle of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and Zakāt is compulsory on him and he should pay it and a similar amount along with it (i.e. double)."

1472. Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair and Sa'īd bin Al-Musa'iyab: Ḥakīm bin Ḥizām said, "(Once) I asked Allāh's Messenger ﷺ (for something) and he gave it to me. Again I asked and he gave (it to me). Again I asked and he gave (it to me). And then he said, "O Ḥakīm! This property is like a sweet fresh fruit; whoever takes it without greediness, he is blessed in it, and whoever takes it with greediness, he is not blessed in it. And he is like a person who eats but is never satisfied; and the upper (giving) hand is better than the lower (receiving) hand." Ḥakīm added, "I said to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, 'By Him (Allāh) Who sent you with the Truth, I shall never ask or take anything from anybody after you, till I leave this world.'" Then Abū Bakr رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ (during his caliphate) called Ḥakīm to give him his share from the war booty (like the other Companions of the Prophet ﷺ), but he refused to accept anything. Then 'Umar رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ (during his caliphate) called him to give him his share, but he refused (to take). On that 'Umar said, "O Muslims!

1481. Narrated Abū Ĥumaid As-Sā'idī رضي الله عنه: We took part in the Ghazwa (holy battle) of Tabūk in the company of the Prophet ﷺ, and when we arrived at the Wādī Al-Qurā, there was a woman in her garden. The Prophet ﷺ asked his Companions to estimate the amount of the fruits in the garden, and Allāh's Messenger ﷺ estimated it at ten Awsuq (One Wasq = 60 Ṣā' and 1 Ṣā' = 3 kg. approximately). The Prophet ﷺ said to that lady, “Check what your garden will yield.” When we reached Tabūk, the Prophet ﷺ said, “There will be a strong wind tonight and so no one should stand and whoever has camel, should fasten it.” So, we fastened our camels. A strong wind blew at night and a man stood up and he was blown away to a mountain called Ṭāiy. The king of 'Aila sent a white mule and a sheet for wearing to the Prophet ﷺ as a present, and wrote to the Prophet ﷺ that his people would stay in their place (and will pay Jizya taxation).(1) When the Prophet ﷺ reached Wādī Al-Qurā he asked that woman how much her garden had yielded. She said, "Ten Awsuq," and that was what Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had estimated. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "I want to reach Al-Madīna quickly, and whoever among you wants to accompany me should hurry up." The subnarrator Ibn Bakkār said something which meant: When the Prophet ﷺ saw Al-Madīna he said, "This is Ṭāba." And when he saw the mountain of Uhūd, he said, "This mountain loves us and we love it. Shall I tell you of the best amongst the families of the Anṣār?" We replied in the affirmative. He said, "The family of Bani An-Najjār and then the family of Bani Abdul-Ashhal, and then the family of Bani Sa'ida or Bani Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj. (The above-mentioned are the best) but there is goodness in all the families of Anṣār."
