1450. Narrated Anas: Abū Bakr رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ wrote to me what was made compulsory by Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and that was (regarding the payments of Zakāt, and there was mentioned in it): Neither the property of different people should be gathered together nor the joint property should be split for fear of (paying more, or receiving less) Zakāt.(1)
1450 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ثُمَامَةُ، أَنَّ أَنَسًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَدَّثَهُ: أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كَتَبَ لَهُ الَّتِي فَرَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَلاَ يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَ مُتَفَرِّقٍ، وَلاَ يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَ مُجْتَمِعٍ خَشْيَةَ الصَّدَقَةِ»

(1) (H.1450) e.g. If somebody owns forty to one hundred and twenty sheep, he should pay only one sheep. But if there are three persons having forty sheep each, they are not permitted to gather their sheep together intending to pay one sheep only whereas each has to pay one sheep. Similarly, one person having forty sheep is not permitted to divide his sheep intending not to pay the Zakāt. This Hadīth may also mean that the Zakāt collector should not do the same with the intention of collecting more Zakāt. He should not divide the property of one person or gather the property of different persons when collecting Zakāt.
