1793 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي صَعْصَعَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُمَارَةَ، وَعَبَّادِ بْنِ تَمِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «لَا صَدَقَةَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسَةِ أَوْسَاقٍ مِنَ التَّمْرِ، وَلَا فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ أَوَاقٍ، وَلَا فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسٍ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ»

Commentary
When the date fruits become dry and can be stored, then if their weight is equal to five Wasq, Zakât must be levied. One Wasq is equal to sixty Sâ', and Sâ' is a measurement. Five Wasq is equal to 750 Kilos. Five Uqiyah is equal to two hundred Dirham, which means the amount of silver on which Zakât is levied is two hundred Dirham. If one has less than five camels they are not subject to Zakât. One goat is due for Zakât in the case of five camels. Further details of Zakât on camels will come in chapter 9.
