English translation
3028. It was narrated from Abyaḏ bin Ḥammāl that he spoke to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about Ṣadaqah (Zakāt) when he came to him. He said: "O brother of Sabā', Ṣadaqah (Zakāt) is inevitable." He said: "We cultivated cotton, O Messenger of Allāh; the people of Sabā' have scattered, and only a few of them are left in Mā'rib." So the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ made a pact with them, on the basis that they would give seventy Hullahs equivalent in value to the Hullah known as Bazz Al-Ma'āfir every year, on behalf of those people of Sabā' who remained in Mā'rib. They continued to pay that until the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ passed away. After the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ died, the governors broke the deal that had been made by Abyaḏ bin Ḥammāl with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ concerning the seventy Hullahs. But Abū Bakr restored it according to the conditions made with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, until Abū Bakr died. When Abū Bakr died, it was discontinued, and they began to pay Ṣadaqah (Zakāt) (on the yield of their land). (Ḍa'if)
