2446. Bahz bin Hâkîm said: “My father told, me that my grandfather said: ‘I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: With regard to grazing camels, for every forty a Bint Labûn (a two-year old female camel). No differentiation is to be made between camels when calculating them. Whoever gives it seeking reward, he will be rewarded for it. Whoever refuses, we will take it, and half of his camels, as one of the rights of our Lord. And it is not permissible for the family of Muhammad ﷺ to have any of them.” (Hasan)

Commentary
1. “Grazing”: Zakâh is obligatory on those animals that are grazed on natural open range pastures for the whole year or the major part of the year. They should not have been provided with fodder or artificially fed, except rarely.
2. “Not permissible”: so that it should not cross anyone’s mind that the claim to prophethood has been made in order to amass wealth.
