Sahih Muslim — Zakat

Sad b. Abu Sarh heard Abu Sa'id al-Khudri as saying:We used to take out as the Zakat of Fitr one sa' of grain, or one sa' of barley or one sa' of dates, or one sa' of cheese or one sa' of raisins

حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى، قال قرات على مالك عن زيد بن اسلم، عن عياض بن، عبد الله بن سعد بن ابي سرح انه سمع ابا سعيد الخدري، يقول كنا نخرج زكاة الفطر صاعا من طعام او صاعا من شعير او صاعا من تمر او صاعا من اقط او صاعا من زبيب

Abd Sa'id al-Khudri reported:We, on behalf of every young or old, free man or slave (amongst us), used to take out during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as the Zakat of Fitr one sa' of grain, or one sa' of cheese or one sa' of raisins. And we continued taking out these till Mu'awiya b. Abu Sufyan came to us for pilgrimage or 'Umra, and addressed the people on the pulpit and said to them: I see that two mudds of zakat out of the wheat (red) of Syria is equal to one sa' of dates. So the people accepted it. But Abu Sa'id said: I would continue to take out as I used to take out (before, i e. one sa') as long as I live

حدثنا عبد الله بن مسلمة بن قعنب، حدثنا داود، - يعني ابن قيس - عن عياض، بن عبد الله عن ابي سعيد الخدري، قال كنا نخرج اذ كان فينا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم زكاة الفطر عن كل صغير وكبير حر او مملوك صاعا من طعام او صاعا من اقط او صاعا من شعير او صاعا من تمر او صاعا من زبيب فلم نزل نخرجه حتى قدم علينا معاوية بن ابي سفيان حاجا او معتمرا فكلم الناس على المنبر فكان فيما كلم به الناس ان قال اني ارى ان مدين من سمراء الشام تعدل صاعا من تمر فاخذ الناس بذلك . قال ابو سعيد فاما انا فلا ازال اخرجه كما كنت اخرجه ابدا ما عشت

Sa'd b. Abu Sarh heard Abu Sa'id al-Khudri as saying:We, on behalf of young or old, free or slave, used to take out the Zakat of Fitr while the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) was among us, in three kinds, one sa' of dates, one sa' of cheese, or one sa' of barley, and we continued to take that out till the time of Mu'awiya, for he saw that two mudds of wheat were equal to one sa' of dates. Abu Sa'id sald: I would continue to take that out as before (i e. one sa' of wheat)

حدثنا محمد بن رافع، حدثنا عبد الرزاق، عن معمر، عن اسماعيل بن امية، قال اخبرني عياض بن عبد الله بن سعد بن ابي سرح، انه سمع ابا سعيد الخدري، يقول كنا نخرج زكاة الفطر ورسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فينا عن كل صغير وكبير حر ومملوك من ثلاثة اصناف صاعا من تمر صاعا من اقط صاعا من شعير فلم نزل نخرجه كذلك حتى كان معاوية فراى ان مدين من بر تعدل صاعا من تمر . قال ابو سعيد فاما انا فلا ازال اخرجه كذلك

Abu Sa'id al Khudri reported:We used to take out the Zakat of Fitr in three kinds, cheese, dates and barley

وحدثني محمد بن رافع، حدثنا عبد الرزاق، اخبرنا ابن جريج، عن الحارث بن، عبد الرحمن بن ابي ذباب عن عياض بن عبد الله بن ابي سرح، عن ابي سعيد الخدري، قال كنا نخرج زكاة الفطر من ثلاثة اصناف الاقط والتمر والشعير

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that when Mu'awiya prescribed half a sa' of wheat equal to one sa' of dates, he (Abu Sa'id al-Khudri) objected to it, and said:I would take out (Sadaqat-ul-Fitr) but that which I used to bring forth during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) one sa' of dates, or one sa' of raisins, or one sa' of barley, or one sa' of cheese

وحدثني عمرو الناقد، حدثنا حاتم بن اسماعيل، عن ابن عجلان، عن عياض، بن عبد الله بن ابي سرح عن ابي سعيد الخدري، ان معاوية، لما جعل نصف الصاع من الحنطة عدل صاع من تمر انكر ذلك ابو سعيد وقال لا اخرج فيها الا الذي كنت اخرج في عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم صاعا من تمر او صاعا من زبيب او صاعا من شعير او صاعا من اقط

Ibn 'Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered that the Sadaqat-ul-Fitr should be paid before the people go out for prayer

حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى، اخبرنا ابو خيثمة، عن موسى بن عقبة، عن نافع، عن ابن عمر، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم امر بزكاة الفطر ان تودى قبل خروج الناس الى الصلاة

Abdullah b 'Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered the payment of Sadaqat-ul-Fitr before people go out for prayer

حدثنا محمد بن رافع، حدثنا ابن ابي فديك، اخبرنا الضحاك، عن نافع، عن عبد، الله بن عمر ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم امر باخراج زكاة الفطر ان تودى قبل خروج الناس الى الصلاة

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him) as saying:If any owner of gold or silver does not pay what is due on him, when the Day of Resurrection would come, plates of fire would be beaten out for him; these would then be heated in the fire of Hell and his sides, his forehead and his back would be cauterized with them. Whenever these cool down, (the process is) repeated during a day the extent of which would be fifty thousand years, until judgment is pronounced among servants, and he sees whether his path is to take him to Paradise or to Hell. It was said: Messenger of Allah, what about the camel? He (the Holy Prophet) said: If any owner of the camel does not pay what is due on him, and of his due in that (camel) is (also) to milk it on the day when it comes down to water. When the Day of Resurrection comes a soft sandy plain would be set for him, as extensive as possible, (he will find) that not a single young one is missing, and they will trample him with their hoofs and bite him with their mouths. As often as the first of them passes him, the last of them would be made to return during a day the extent of which would be fifty thousand years, until judgment is pronounced among servants and he sees whether his path is to take him to Paradise or to Hell. It was (again) said: Messenger of Allah, what about cows (cattle) and sheep? He said: It any owner of the cattle and sheep does not pay what is due on them, when the Day of Resurrection comes a soft sandy plain would be spread for them, he will find none of them missing, with twisted horns, without horns or with a broken horn, and they will gore him with their horns and trample him with their hoofs. As often as the first of them passes him the last of them would be made to return to him during a day the extent of which would be fifty thousand years, until judgment would be pronounced among the servants. And he would be shown his path-path leading him to Paradise or to Hell. It was said: Messenger of Allah, what about the horse? Upon this he said: The horses are of three types. To one than (these are) a burden, and to another man (these are) a covering, and still to another man (these are) a source of reward. The one for whom these are a burden is the person who rears them in order to show off, for vainglory and for opposing the Muslims; so they are a burden for him. The one for whom these are a covering is the person who rears them for the sake of Allah but does not forget the right of Allah concerning their backs and their necks, and so they are a covering for him. As for those which bring reward (these refer to) the person who rears them for the sake of Allah to be used for Muslims and he puts them in meadow and field. And whatever thing do these eat from that meadow and field would be recorded on his behalf as good deeds, as would also the amount of their dung and urine. And these would not break their halter and prance a course or two without having got recorded the amount of their hoof marks and their dung as a good deed on his behalf (on behalf of their owner). And their master does not bring them past a river from which they drink, though he did not intend to quench their thirst, but Allah would record for him the amount of what they drink on his behalf as deeds. It was said: Messenger of Allah, what about the asses?, Upon this he said: Nothing has been revealed to me in regard to the asses (in particular) except this one verse of a comprehensive nature:" He who does an atom's weight of good will see it, and he who does an atom's weight of evil will see it" (xcix)

This hadith has been narrated by Zaid b. Aslam with the same chain of transmitters except that he said:" None among the owners of camels who does not pay their due," but did not say" their due (Zakat) out of them." and he make a mention:" He did not miss a single young one out of them." and he said:" Their sides. their foreheads and their backs would be cauterised

وحدثني يونس بن عبد الاعلى الصدفي، اخبرنا عبد الله بن وهب، حدثني هشام، بن سعد عن زيد بن اسلم، في هذا الاسناد بمعنى حديث حفص بن ميسرة الى اخره غير انه قال " ما من صاحب ابل لا يودي حقها " . ولم يقل " منها حقها " . وذكر فيه " لا يفقد منها فصيلا واحدا " . وقال " يكوى بها جنباه وجبهته وظهره

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:No owner of the treasure who does not pay Zakat (would be spared) but (his hoards) would be heated in the Fire of Hell and these would be made into plates and with these his sides, his forehead would be cauterised till Allah would pronounce judgment among His servants during a day, the extent of which would be fifty thousand years. He would then see his path, leading either to Paradise or to Hell. And no owner of the camels who does not pay Zakat (would be spared) but a soft sandy plain would be set for him and they (the camels) would be made to pass over him till the last of them would be made to return till Allah would pronounce judgment among His servants during a day the extent of which would be fifty thousand years. He would then see his path leading him to Paradise or leading him to Hell. And no owner of the (cattle and) goats who does not pay Zakat (would be spared) but a soft sandy plain would be set for him, he would find none of them missing, with twisted horns, without horns, or with broken horns, and they will gore him with their horns and trample him with their hoofs and they would be made to pass over him till the last of them would be made to return till Allah would pronounce judgment among His servants, during a day the extent of which would be fifty thousand years, and he would see the paths leading to Paradise or to Hell. Suhail said: I do not know whether he made mention of the cows. They said: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), what about the horses? He said: The horses have goodness in their foreheads (or he said) or goodness is ingrained in the foreheads of the horses (Suhail said: I am in doubt as to what was actually said) up till the Day of judgement. The horses are of three kinds. They are a source of reward to a person, they are a covering to a person, and they are a burden to a person. As for those which bring reward is that a person would get reward who rears them for the sake of Allah and trains them for Him, and nothing disappears in their stomachs but Allah would record for him a good deed. And if they were to graze in the meadow, they would eat nothing but Allah would record for him a reward. And if they were to drink water from the canal, with every drop that, would disappear in their stomachs there would be reward (for the owner). He went on describing till a reward was mentioned for their urine and dung. And if they pranced a course or two, there would be recorded a reward for every pace that they covered. As for one for whom they are a covering, he is the man who rears them for honour and dignity but does not forget the right of their backs and their stomachs, in plenty and adversity, As regards one for whom they are a burden, he is that who rears them for vainglory and showing off to the people; for him they are, the burden. They said: Messenger of Allah, what about asses? He said: Allah has not revealed to me anything in regards to it except this one comprehensive verse:" He who does an atom's weight of good will see it, and he who does an atom's weight of evil will see it" (xcix)

This hadith has been narrated by Suhail b. Abu Salih with the same chain of transmitters, and he said he substituted the word aqsa' with 'adba' and said:" his side and his back," but he made no mention of his forehead

وحدثناه قتيبة بن سعيد، حدثنا عبد العزيز، - يعني الدراوردي - عن سهيل، بهذا الاسناد . وساق الحديث . وحدثنيه محمد بن عبد الله بن بزيع، حدثنا يزيد بن زريع، حدثنا روح بن القاسم، حدثنا سهيل بن ابي صالح، بهذا الاسناد وقال بدل عقصاء عضباء وقال " فيكوى بها جنبه وظهره " . ولم يذكر جبينه

This hadith has been narrated by Abu Huraira through another chain of transmitters:The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:" When a person does not pay what is due to Allah or Sadaqa of his camels...." The rest of the hadith is the same

وحدثني هارون بن سعيد الايلي، حدثنا ابن وهب، اخبرني عمرو بن الحارث، ان بكيرا، حدثه عن ذكوان، عن ابي هريرة، عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم انه قال " اذا لم يود المرء حق الله او الصدقة في ابله " . وساق الحديث بنحو حديث سهيل عن ابيه

Jabir b. 'Abdullah al-Ansari reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:The owner of a camel who does not pay what is due on it (would be punished in this way) that on the Day of Resurrection many more (along with his camel) would come and the owner would be made to sit on a soft sandy ground and they would trample him with their feet and hooves. And no owner of the cattle who does not pay what is due on them (would be spared the punishment) but on the Day of Resurrection, many more would come and he (the owner) would be made to sit on the soft sandy ground and would be gored by their horns and trampled under their feet. And no owner of the goats and sheep who does not pay what is due on them (would be spared of punishment) but many more would come on the Day of Resurrection and he (the owner) would be made to sit on a soft sandy ground and they would gore him with their horns and trample him under their hooves. And there would be more (among this flock of sheep and goat) without horns or with broken horns. And no owner of the treasure who does not pay its due but his treasure would come on the Day of Resurrection like a bald snake and would pursue him with its mouth open, and when it would come near he would run away from it, and he would be called thus:" Take your treasure which you concealed, for I do not need it." When he would find no way out he would put his hand in its mouth and it would gnaw it like a he-camel. Abu Zubair said: We heard Ubaid b. Umair saying this. We then asked Jabir b. 'Abdullah about this. And he also said like Ubaid b. Umair, Abu Zubair said: I heard 'Ubaid b. 'Umair saying: A man said: Messenger of Allah, what is due on camels? He said: Milking them near water, and lending of bucket (used for drawing water from it), or lending its male for mating with a she-camel and providing it as a ride for the sake of Allah

حدثنا اسحاق بن ابراهيم، اخبرنا عبد الرزاق، ح وحدثني محمد بن رافع، - واللفظ له - حدثنا عبد الرزاق، اخبرنا ابن جريج، اخبرني ابو الزبير، انه سمع جابر بن، عبد الله الانصاري يقول سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول " ما من صاحب ابل لا يفعل فيها حقها الا جاءت يوم القيامة اكثر ما كانت قط وقعد لها بقاع قرقر تستن عليه بقوايمها واخفافها ولا صاحب بقر لا يفعل فيها حقها الا جاءت يوم القيامة اكثر ما كانت وقعد لها بقاع قرقر تنطحه بقرونها وتطوه بقوايمها ولا صاحب غنم لا يفعل فيها حقها الا جاءت يوم القيامة اكثر ما كانت وقعد لها بقاع قرقر تنطحه بقرونها وتطوه باظلافها ليس فيها جماء ولا منكسر قرنها ولا صاحب كنز لا يفعل فيه حقه الا جاء كنزه يوم القيامة شجاعا اقرع يتبعه فاتحا فاه فاذا اتاه فر منه فيناديه خذ كنزك الذي خباته فانا عنه غني فاذا راى ان لا بد منه سلك يده في فيه فيقضمها قضم الفحل " . قال ابو الزبير سمعت عبيد بن عمير يقول هذا القول ثم سالنا جابر بن عبد الله عن ذلك فقال مثل قول عبيد بن عمير . وقال ابو الزبير سمعت عبيد بن عمير يقول قال رجل يا رسول الله ما حق الابل قال " حلبها على الماء واعارة دلوها واعارة فحلها ومنيحتها وحمل عليها في سبيل الله

Jabir b. Abdullah reported the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying:No owner of camels or cattle or flock of sheep or goats who does not pay his due (would be spared punishment) but would be made to sit on the Day of Resurrection on a soft sandy ground and the hoofed animals would trample him with their hoofs and gore him with their horns. And none of them on that day would be without horns, or with broken horns. We said: Messenger of Allah, but what is due on them? He said: Lending of the male (for use) and lending of the bucket (used for drawing water for them) and for mating and milking them near water and providing them as a ride for the sake of Allah. And no owner of the property who does not pay Zakat (would be spared punishment) but it (his property) would turn into a bald snake and would follow its owner wherever he would go, and he would run away from it, and it would be said to him: That is your property about which you were stingy. And when he would find no other way out he would thrust his hand in its mouth and it would gnaw it like a male camel

حدثنا محمد بن عبد الله بن نمير، حدثنا ابي، حدثنا عبد الملك، عن ابي الزبير، عن جابر بن عبد الله، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " ما من صاحب ابل ولا بقر ولا غنم لا يودي حقها الا اقعد لها يوم القيامة بقاع قرقر تطوه ذات الظلف بظلفها وتنطحه ذات القرن بقرنها ليس فيها يوميذ جماء ولا مكسورة القرن " . قلنا يا رسول الله وما حقها قال " اطراق فحلها واعارة دلوها ومنيحتها وحلبها على الماء وحمل عليها في سبيل الله ولا من صاحب مال لا يودي زكاته الا تحول يوم القيامة شجاعا اقرع يتبع صاحبه حيثما ذهب وهو يفر منه ويقال هذا مالك الذي كنت تبخل به فاذا راى انه لا بد منه ادخل يده في فيه فجعل يقضمها كما يقضم الفحل

Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported:There came people from among the Bedouins to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: Collectors of Sadaqa come to us and treat us unjustly. Upon this the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Please your collectors. Jarir said: Ever since I heard it from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) no collector had departed but was pleased with me

حدثنا ابو كامل، فضيل بن حسين الجحدري حدثنا عبد الواحد بن زياد، حدثنا محمد بن ابي اسماعيل، حدثنا عبد الرحمن بن هلال العبسي، عن جرير بن عبد الله، قال جاء ناس من الاعراب الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقالوا ان ناسا من المصدقين ياتوننا فيظلموننا . قال فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " ارضوا مصدقيكم " . قال جرير ما صدر عني مصدق منذ سمعت هذا من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الا وهو عني راض

This hadith has been narrated by Muhammad b. Isma'il with the same chain of transmitters

وحدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا عبد الرحيم بن سليمان، ح وحدثنا محمد، بن بشار حدثنا يحيى بن سعيد، ح وحدثنا اسحاق، اخبرنا ابو اسامة، كلهم عن محمد، بن ابي اسماعيل بهذا الاسناد نحوه

Abu Dharr reported:I went to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he was sitting under the shade of the Ka'ba. As he saw me he said: By the Lord of the Ka'ba, they are the losers. I came there till I sat and I could not stay (longer) and (then) stood up. I said: Messenger of Allah, let my father, be ransom for you, who are they (the losers)? He said: They are those having a huge amount of wealth except so and so and (those who spend their wealth generously on them whom they find in front of them, behind them and on their right side and on their left side) and they are a few. And no owner of camels, or cattle or goat and sheep, who does not pay Zakat (would be spared punishment) but these (camels, cattle, goats and sheep) would come on the Day of Resurrection wearing more flesh and would gore him with their horns and trample them with their hooves. And when the last one would pass away, the first one would return (to trample him) till judgment would be pronounced among people

حدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا وكيع، حدثنا الاعمش، عن المعرور بن سويد، عن ابي ذر، قال انتهيت الى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو جالس في ظل الكعبة . فلما راني قال " هم الاخسرون ورب الكعبة " . قال فجيت حتى جلست فلم اتقار ان قمت فقلت يا رسول الله فداك ابي وامي من هم قال " هم الاكثرون اموالا الا من قال هكذا وهكذا وهكذا - من بين يديه ومن خلفه وعن يمينه وعن شماله - وقليل ما هم ما من صاحب ابل ولا بقر ولا غنم لا يودي زكاتها الا جاءت يوم القيامة اعظم ما كانت واسمنه تنطحه بقرونها وتطوه باظلافها كلما نفدت اخراها عادت عليه اولاها حتى يقضى بين الناس

Abu Dbarr reported:I went to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he was sitting under the shade of the Ka'ba, and the rest of the hadith it the same but for this that he (the Holy Prophet) said:" By Allah, in Whose hand is my life, no person on earth who dies and leaves behind camels, or cattle or goat and sheep, and does not pay Zakat (would be spared the punishment)

وحدثناه ابو كريب، محمد بن العلاء حدثنا ابو معاوية، عن الاعمش، عن المعرور، عن ابي ذر، قال انتهيت الى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو جالس في ظل الكعبة . فذكر نحو حديث وكيع غير انه قال " والذي نفسي بيده ما على الارض رجل يموت فيدع ابلا او بقرا او غنما لم يود زكاتها

Abu Huraira reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:Nothing is more delighting to me than this that Uhud should be of gold for me, and no dinar is left with me out of it before three nights pass except a dinar which I would set aside for the repayment of debt upon me

حدثنا عبد الرحمن بن سلام الجمحي، حدثنا الربيع، - يعني ابن مسلم - عن محمد بن زياد، عن ابي هريرة، ان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " ما يسرني ان لي احدا ذهبا تاتي على ثالثة وعندي منه دينار الا دينار ارصده لدين على
