The age of maturity: Abu Hanifah said nothing is due from a girl until she reaches 18 or 17

Sa'id bin al-Musayyib relates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Sayyiduna Attab bin Asid (may Allah be pleased with him) to estimate grapes just as date-palms are estimated. So the zakah of grapes is to be paid in the form of raisins, and the zakah of date-palm fruit in the form of dried dates. This is the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding dates and grapes.

It is reported from al-Sha'bi that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with him) to the people of Yemen, and he assigned to them the estimation of their date-palms.

Abd al-Rahman bin Mas'ud relates that Sayyiduna Sahl bin Abi Hathmah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to our gathering and related this hadith, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you make an estimate, take (some) and leave (some)."

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Sayyiduna Ibn Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with him) estimated the dates of Khaybar at forty thousand wasqs. He held that when Ibn Rawahah gave the Jews the choice, they took the dates and owed twenty thousand wasqs.

Bashir bin Yasar relates that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to send Sayyiduna Abu Hathmah (may Allah be pleased with him) to estimate the date-palms. It is mentioned that the view of (Imam) Abu Hanifah is: He did not hold the view of estimation.
