Daraqutni

Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father (Imam Muhammad al-Baqir, may Allah be pleased with him) the statement of Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): Regarding the horse, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "One dinar will be paid for one horse." In narrating this report from Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (may Allah have mercy on him), the narrator named Ghorak is unique, and he is very weak.

Harithah bin Mudarrib narrates: Some people from Egypt came to Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). They said: We have acquired some land and some slaves, and we wish to pay zakat on them. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I will not do what my two predecessors did not do, until I consult about this matter." Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) consulted the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this, and all of them approved it. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) remained silent. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Abu al-Hasan! Why are you not saying anything?" So Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The advice these gentlemen have given you is correct, but it is necessary that it should not be a tax that they would have to pay even after you." So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) collected ten dirhams for each slave and made it obligatory to provide two jarib of wheat as monthly food. For a horse, he collected ten dirhams and made it obligatory to provide ten jarib of barley as monthly food. For an ordinary horse, he collected eight dirhams and made it obligatory to provide eight jarib of barley as monthly food. For a mule, he collected five dirhams and made it obligatory to give five jarib of barley as monthly food. The narrator named Abu Ishaq says: In the time of Hajjaj, this was collected from us, but our share was not given to us. The Sheikh (Imam Daraqutni) says: "Muqarrif" is a horse that runs slower than a fast horse.

The narrator named Harithah reports: Some people from Syria came to the service of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). They said: We have acquired some wealth, which consists of horses and slaves. We wish that zakat be taken from these as well, so that they may be purified. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I will do something which my two predecessors did not do." Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) consulted the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), among whom was Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "This is fine, as long as it is not considered a jizya, which continues to be taken from them after you."

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have exempted you from (paying) zakat on horses and slaves, and zakat will not be obligatory on less than two hundred (dirhams)."

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no zakat obligatory on horses and slaves, however, zakat al-fitr should be paid on behalf of the slave."

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No charity is obligatory upon a slave, except the charity of Fitr will be given."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "There is no obligation of any kind of charity (i.e., zakat) on a man's horse or his slave, except that he will pay sadaqat al-fitr on behalf of the slave."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "There is no zakat obligatory on a Muslim person's horse, his slave, or his slave-girl." The same narration is also transmitted with another chain from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated about Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him): He wrote this: "Beginning in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. This is from Samurah bin Jundub to his sons. Peace be upon you all. To proceed! The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) instructed us regarding our slaves: those slaves who are used for a man's work, the man does not intend to sell them. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) instructed us: we will not pay zakat on any of them, and he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) instructed us that for any slave who is prepared for sale, we will pay zakat on him."

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) established the Sunnah regarding the dowry of women that it should be twelve uqiyah, and one uqiyah is forty dirhams, so this totals four hundred and eighty dirhams. And the Prophet of Allah also set this limit: the ritual bath (ghusl) for major impurity (janabah) will be with one sa’ of water, and ablution (wudu) will be with two ratl of water. One sa’ contains eight ratl. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also established this Sunnah: from the produce of the earth, that is, wheat, barley, raisins, and dates, when it reaches five wasq, and one wasq is sixty sa’, so this totals three hundred sa’ according to the sa’ related to the Sunnah. This narration has been transmitted from Mansur only by Salih bin Musa, and this person is weak in hadith.
