1558. It was reported from 'Amr bin Yaḥyā Al-Māzinī, from his father, who said that he heard Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī saying that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "There is no Ṣadaqah[1] on anything less than five camels, and there is no Ṣadaqah on anything less than five Awāq[2], and there is no Ṣadaqah on anything less than five Uwsuq."[3] (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

1558 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى الْمَازِنِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ ذَوْدٍ صَدَقَةٌ، وَلَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ أَوَاقٍ صَدَقَةٌ، وَلَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسَةِ أَوْسُقٍ صَدَقَةٌ»

Commentary

Zakāh shall not be due upon wealth unless it reaches the Nišāb, or the minimum amount upon which it is due for each item it is due. If someone possessing less than the minimum pays Zakāh of his own volition, it is his choice and an act worthy of praise, his payment would be considered as Ṣadaqah.
