1447. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "There is no Zakāt on less than five camels, and also there is no Zakāt on less than five Awāq (of silver). (5 Awāq = 22 Fransa Riyāls of Yemen or 200 Dirhams i.e., approx. 640 Grams.) And there is no Zakāt on less than five Awsuq.(2) (A special measure of food-grains, and one Wasq equals 60 Sa'.) [For gold, 20 Mithqāl, i.e., approx. 94 grams, i.e., equal to 12 Guinea English. No Zakāt for less than 12 Guinea (English) of gold or for silver less than 22 Fransa Riyāls of Yemen, i.e., 200 Dirhams, i.e., approx. 640 grams of silver. (This is called Ṅišāb)(3)].

1447 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى المَازِنِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الخُدْرِيَّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ ذَوْدٍ صَدَقَةٌ مِنَ الإِبِلِ، وَلَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ أَوَاقٍ صَدَقَةٌ، وَلَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسَةِ أَوْسُقٍ صَدَقَةٌ» حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ المُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الوَهَّابِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، سَمِعَ أَبَاهُ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهَذَا
