49| Chapter on the time for the imam to send someone to estimate the harvest for zakat
Hadith 2315
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ وَهِيَ تَذْكُرُ شَأْنَ خَيْبَرَ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَبْعَثُ ابْنَ رَوَاحَةَ ، فَيَخْرُصُ النَّخْلَ حِينَ يَطِيبُ أَوَّلُ الثَّمَرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُؤْكَلَ ، ثُمَّ يُخَيِّرُ الْيَهُودَ بِأَنْ يَأْخُذُوهَا بِذَلِكَ الْخَرْصِ ، أَمْ يَدْفَعُهُ الْيَهُودُ بِذَلِكَ ، وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ بِالْخَرْصِ لِكَيْ تُحْصَى الزَّكَاةُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُؤْكَلَ الثَّمَرَةُ وَتُفَرَّقَ "
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates regarding the gardens of Khaybar that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to send Sayyiduna Ibn Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with him) to Khaybar as soon as the dates ripened, and he would estimate the quantity of the dates before they were eaten. Then he would give the Jews the option to take their share according to that estimate, or the Jews could pay (the Muslims) their share according to that estimate. And indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) ordered the estimation so that the amount of zakat could be determined before the dates were eaten and distributed.
