Lexical Explanation 504:
مَعَادِن (ma‘ādin) is the plural of مَعدِنٌ (ma‘din). In مَعدِنٌ, the "dal" has a kasrah underneath. In Urdu, it is called "kaan," meaning that part beneath the earth where Allah, the Exalted, has created gold, silver, and various gems, etc.
اَلْقَبَلِیَّۃِ (al-Qabaliyyah): Both the "qaf" and "ba" have a fathah. It is a nisbah (attribution) to Qabal, which is the name of a place in the vicinity of Fura‘. In فُرْع (Fura‘), the "fa" has a dammah and the "ra" is sukun; according to another opinion, both have a dammah. It is located on the seaward side in the upper part of Madinah, between Makkah and Madinah, at a distance of eight barid (approximately 96 miles) from Madinah. Another opinion is that this place is at a distance of four days’ journey. There are many mosques and settlements in it. Ma‘din (mine) and rikaz (buried treasure) are linguistically different, and likewise, they are different in terms of legal ruling and in the Shari‘ah as well.
Benefit 504:
The aforementioned narration has been declared hasan by the esteemed researcher, whereas Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah writes regarding it that the granting of mines (ma‘ādin) to Bilal bin Harith is established, but the mention of taking zakat from them is not authentic. See: [ارواء الغليل : 312 ، 311/3 حديث : 830]
Therefore, the preferred position regarding this is that there is no zakat on what is extracted from mines, because nothing is established from the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam regarding this. However, zakat is due on its income if it reaches the nisab (minimum threshold) and a year passes over it; there is no khums (one-fifth) on it. «والله اعلم»
The narrator of the hadith, Hazrat Bilal bin Harith radi Allahu anhu, was called Muzani due to being from the Muzaynah tribe. His kunyah was Abu Abdur-Rahman. He came to the service of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in 5 AH as a representative with the delegation of the Muzaynah tribe. He settled behind Madinah, then later moved to Basrah. On the day of the conquest of Makkah, he was carrying the flag of the Muzaynah tribe. He passed away in 60 AH at the age of 80 years.
