English translation

1559. It was reported from Abū Al-Bukhtārī, Aṭ-Ṭā'ī, from Abū Sa'eed — and he attributed it to the Prophet ﷺ — saying: "There is no Zakāt on what is less than five Awsāq," and a Wasq is sixty (that are) stamped.”[1] (Da'if) Abū Dāwūd said: Abū Al-Bukhtārī did not hear from Abū Sa'eed.

Arabic text

1559 - حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الرَّقِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِدْرِيسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْأَوْدِيُّ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ الْجَمَلِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ الطَّائِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسَةِ أَوْسُقٍ زَكَاةٌ، وَالْوَسْقُ: سِتُّونَ مَخْتُومًا "، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «أَبُو الْبَخْتَرِيُّ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ»،

Footnotes

  1. 1

    [1] Here, as in many of these narrations to come, the term Ṣadaqah refers to the obligatory charity or Zakāt.

  2. 2

    [2] Awāq is plural of "Uqiyah," and it is a number of silver coins or its like, and they also say: "Waqiyah." They say it is forty Dirham, and five Awāq is equal to two-hundred Dirham.

  3. 3

    [3] Uwsuq and Awsāq are plural of Wasq; a volume measurement which they say is equal to sixty Ṣā'. See the following narration. A Ṣā' is a volume measurement which is measured when the average man holds two hands together and scoops four times like that, and its precise measurement may be fixed by the leaders.
