651. Maḥmūd bin Ghaylān narrated to us: Yahya bin Ādam narrated to us, Sufyān narrated this Hadīth to us from Ḥakīm bin Jubair. So 'Abdullāh bin 'Uthmān, the companion of Shu'bah said to him (Sufyān): "If only someone besides Ḥakīm had narrated this (Hadīth)." Sufyān said to him, "So what is with Ḥakīm; Shu'bah would not narrate from
him?" He said: "Yes." So Sufyān said: "I heard Zubaid narrating this from Muḥammad bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Yazīd." (Da'if)[1]
This is acted upon according to some of our companions, it is the view of Ath-Thawrī, 'Abdullāh bin Al-Mubārak, Aḥmad and Ishāq. They said that when a man has fifty Dirham, then charity is not lawful for him.
(He said:) Some of the people of knowledge did not follow the Hadīth of Ḥakīm bin Jubair, they were more liberal than this, saying that when he has fifty Dirham or more and he has some need, then he can accept Zakāt. This is the saying of Ash-Shāfi'i, and more than one of the people of Fiqh and knowledge.
