Bayhaqi 7254 — How zakah was made obligatory

أَخْبَرَنَا بِحَدِيثِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُقْرِئُ، أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: أَقْرَأَنِي سَالِمٌ كِتَابًا كَتَبَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَوَفَّاهُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي الصَّدَقَةِ فَوَجَدْتُ فِيهِ: " فِي خَمْسِ ذَوْدٍ شَاةٌ وَفِي عَشْرٍ شَاتَانِ وَفِي خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ ثَلَاثُ شِيَاهٍ وَفِي عِشْرِينَ أَرْبَعُ شِيَاهٍ وَفِي خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ ابْنَةُ مَخَاضٍ إِلَى خَمْسٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ فَإِذَا لَمْ تَكُنِ ابْنَةَ مَخَاضٍ فَابْنُ لَبُونٍ ذَكَرٌ، فَإِذَا كَانَتْ سِتًّا وَثَلَاثِينَ فَابْنَةُ لَبُونٍ إِلَى خَمْسٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ، فَإِذَا كَانَتْ سِتًّا وَأَرْبَعِينَ فَحِقَّةٌ إِلَى سِتِّينَ فَإِذَا كَانَتْ إِحْدَى وَسِتِّينَ فَجَذَعَةٌ إِلَى خَمْسٍ وَسَبْعِينَ فَإِذَا زَادَتْ فَابْنَتَا لَبُونٍ إِلَى تِسْعِينَ، فَإِذَا زَادَتْ فَحِقَّتَانِ إِلَى عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةٍ، فَإِذَا كَثُرَتِ الْإِبِلُ فَفِي كُلِّ خَمْسِينَ حِقَّةٌ وَفِي كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ ابْنَةُ لَبُونٍ وَوَجَدْتُ فِيهِ فِي أَرْبَعِينَ شَاةً شَاةٌ إِلَى عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةٍ، فَإِذَا زَادَتْ فَفِيهَا شَاتَانِ إِلَى مِائَتَيْنِ فَإِذَا زَادَتْ فَفِيهَا ثَلَاثٌ إِلَى ثَلَاثِمِائَةٍ ثُمَّ فِي كُلِّ مِائَةٍ شَاةٌ، وَوَجَدْتُ فِيهِ لَا يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَ مُجْتَمِعٍ وَلَا يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَ مُتَفَرِّقٍ، وَوَجَدْتُ فِيهِ لَا يَجُوزُ فِي الصَّدَقَةِ تَيْسٌ وَلَا هَرِمَةٌ وَلَا ذَاتُ عَوَارٍ ".
Salim (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father (may Allah be pleased with them both), and he from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); he said: Salim (may Allah have mercy on him) had me read a document which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had written about zakah before his death, and I saw written in it: "On five camels one goat, on ten two goats, on fifteen three, on twenty four, and on twenty-five a bint makhad up to thirty-five. If there is no bint makhad, then an ibn labun in its place. When they are thirty-six, a bint labun up to forty-five. When they are forty-six, a hiqqah up to sixty. When they become sixty-one, a jadha'ah up to seventy-five. When they are seventy-six, two bint labun up to ninety. When they become ninety-one, two hiqqahs up to one hundred and twenty. Then on every fifty a hiqqah and on every forty a bint labun. I also found in it that on forty sheep there is one sheep up to one hundred and twenty; when they exceed that, two sheep up to two hundred; when they exceed that, three sheep up to three hundred; then on every hundred one sheep. I also found in it that flocks grazing together are not to be separated, nor flocks grazing separately combined. I also found in it that it is not permissible to give a billy-goat, an old animal or a defective animal in zakah."
