Bayhaqi 7259 — Explanation of his saying: "In every forty"

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الصَّغَانِيُّ، ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، وَحَبِيبٌ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ هَرِمٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا الرِّجَالِ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ حِينَ اسْتُخْلِفَ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ يَلْتَمِسُ عَهْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ فَوَجَدَ عِنْدَ آلِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ كِتَابَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ، وَوَجَدَ عِنْدَ آلِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ كِتَابَ عُمَرَ إِلَى عُمَّالِهِ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ بِمِثْلِ كِتَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ فَأَمَرَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عُمَّالَهُ عَلَى الصَّدَقَاتِ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا بِمَا فِي ذَيْنِكَ الْكِتَابَيْنِ فَكَانَ فِيهِمَا " فِي صَدَقَةِ الْإِبِلِ مَا زَادَتْ عَلَى التِّسْعِينَ وَاحِدَةً فَفِيهَا حِقَّتَانِ إِلَى عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةٍ، فَإِذَا زَادَتْ عَلَى الْعِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةٍ وَاحِدَةً فَفِيهَا ثَلَاثُ بَنَاتِ لَبُونٍ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةً فَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْإِبِلُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَلَيْسَ فِيمَا لَا يَبْلُغُ الْعَشَرَةَ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ الْعَشَرَةَ ".
When Umar bin Abd al-Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) became caliph, he sent a message to Madinah that the letter about zakah from the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) be sought. It was found with the family of Amr bin Hazm (may Allah be pleased with him), and with the family of Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) (a letter was found) that Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) had sent to his officials; it was just like the one the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had written to Sayyiduna Amr bin Hazm (may Allah be pleased with him). So Umar bin Abd al-Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) said that the obligatory zakah should be determined from these two copies. In it, the zakah of camels was as follows: "When they exceed ninety by one, there are two hiqqahs, 'three-year-old she-camels', up to one hundred and twenty. When they exceed one hundred and twenty by even one, there are three bint labun, 'two-year-old she-camels', until they become one hundred and twenty-nine. When the camels become more than that, it is likewise, and until they reach ten (more) there is no zakah on them."
