1453. Narrated Anas : رضي الله عنه Abū Bakr ﷺ wrote to me about the Zakāt which Allāh had ordered His Messenger ﷺ to observe: Whoever had to pay Jadh'a (Jadh'a means a four-year-old she-camel) as Zakāt from his herd of camels and he had not got one, and he had Hiqqa (three-year-old she-camel), that Hiqqa should be accepted from him along with two sheep if they were available or twenty Dirhams and whoever had to pay Hiqqa as Zakāt and he had no Hiqqa but had a Jadh'a, the Jadh'a should be accepted from him, and the Zakāt collector should pay back (or return) to him twenty Dirhams or two sheep; and whoever had to pay Hiqqa as Zakāt and he had not got one, but had a Bint Labūn (two-year-old she-camel), it should be accepted from him along with two sheep or twenty Dirhams; and whoever had to pay Bint Labūn and had a Hiqqa, that Hiqqa should be accepted from him and the Zakāt collector should pay back (or return) to him twenty Dirhams or two sheep; and whoever had to pay Bint Labūn and he had not got one but had a Bint Makhād (one-year-old she-camel), that Bint Makhād should be accepted from him along with twenty Dirhams or two sheep.
