1797. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allâh ﷻ said: "When you give Zakât, do not forget its reward, and say, 'Allâhumaj-'alha maghnaman wa lâ taj-'alha maghrama (O Allâh! Make it a gain and do not make it a loss)." (Maudu')

Arabic text

1797 - حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنِ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا أَعْطَيْتُمُ الزَّكَاةَ فَلَا تَنْسَوْا ثَوَابَهَا، أَنْ تَقُولُوا: اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا مَغْنَمًا، وَلَا تَجْعَلْهَا مَغْرَمًا "

Commentary

A person possessing Nisâb of gold, silver and cash money, should personally make payment of the amount of Zakât at the local collecting place. As for the Zakât due on grain, crops and cattle, an appointed collecting officer of Islamic government will visit the person possessing the Nisâb and collect it. The relationship between public and government is of love and respect in an Islamic society. The Zakât collector should thank the person paying Zakât and pray for him.
