كتاب الزكاةBook: On the Explanation of Zakat
بَابُ الزَّكَاةِ فِي الدَّيْنِZakat on debts
Hadith 666
حَدَّثَنِي حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ ، كَانَ يَقُولُ : " هَذَا شَهْرُ زَكَاتِكُمْ فَمَنْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَلْيُؤَدِّ دَيْنَهُ ، حَتَّى تَحْصُلَ أَمْوَالُكُمْ فَتُؤَدُّونَ مِنْهُ الزَّكَاةَ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'ib bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: This month is the month of your zakat, so whoever has any debt should pay off the debt, and whatever wealth remains, he should pay zakat on it.
