2490. It was narrated from Sâlim, from his father, that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "For whatever is irrigated by the sky, rivers and springs, or draws up water from deep roots, one-tenth. For whatever is irrigated by animals and artificial means, one half of one-tenth." (Sâhîh)

Arabic text

2488 - أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْهَيْثَمِ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْأَيْلِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «فِيمَا سَقَتِ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَنْهَارُ وَالْعُيُونُ أَوْ كَانَ بَعْلًا الْعُشْرُ، وَمَا سُقِيَ بِالسَّوَانِي وَالنَّضْحِ نِصْفُ الْعُشْرِ»

Commentary

1. Hitherto, in the preceding narrations, the Nisâb for crops was described. 2. Arguing from the outward import of this Hadîth, Imâm Abû Hanifah has stated that one-tenth or the Ushr is due upon what the earth puts forth, whether it is in a small or large amount. But the explicit narrations concerning the Nisâb are contrary to this argument. This discussion has preceded earlier. When the Nisâb or the scale is valid in other commodities, for instance, gold, silver, and animals, etc., why should it not be valid in the matter of a crop?
