Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 10776 — His saying: "And give its due

Mujahid said concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "And give its due on the day of its harvest" [Al-An'am: 141]: When you reap the crop and the poor come to you, throw them some of it; when you gather it (the crop), throw them some of it; when you heap it up, throw them some of it; and when you clean it and begin to measure it, scoop out some of it for them. When you have measured it and know how much it is, pay its zakah. When you pick the dates from the palm trees, leave some of the scattered and ripe dates for them; when you begin to measure them, throw them some as well; and when you know their measure, pay their zakah.
