1455. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: Abû Bakr رضي الله عنه wrote to me what Allâh had ordered His Messenger ﷺ (about Zakât) which goes: Neither an old nor a defective animal, nor a male-goat may be taken as Zakât except if the Zakât collector wishes (to take it)(1).
1455 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ثُمَامَةُ، أَنَّ أَنَسًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَدَّثَهُ: أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، كَتَبَ لَهُ الصَّدَقَةَ الَّتِي أَمَرَ اللَّهُ رَسُولَهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَلاَ يُخْرَجُ فِي الصَّدَقَةِ هَرِمَةٌ وَلاَ ذَاتُ عَوَارٍ، وَلاَ تَيْسٌ إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ المُصَدِّقُ»

(1) (H.1455) The Arabic word which means 'Zakât-collector' when slightly modified may mean 'the Zakât payer'. In this case the Ĥadîth will mean: The male-goat may not be taken as Zakât if the owner does not want to give it up. If we regard the 'Zakât-collector' as the proper word then the meaning is: The Zakât-collector is not to take an old or defective animal or a male-goat unless he finds no better alternative.
