Bayhaqi 7293 — How the zakah of cattle was made obligatory

أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، ثنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْفِرْيَابِيُّ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، ثنا بَقِيَّةُ، حَدَّثَنِي الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُعَاذًا إِلَى الْيَمَنِ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ مِنْ كُلِّ ثَلَاثِينَ تَبِيعًا أَوْ تَبِيعَةً جَذَعًا أَوْ جَذَعَةً وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ بَقَرَةً بَقَرَةً مُسِنَّةً فَقَالُوا فَالْأَوْقَاصُ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ: مَا أَمَرَنِي فِيهَا بِشَيْءٍ وَسَأَسْأَلُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَدِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْأَوْقَاصِ فَقَالَ: " لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ " وَقَالَ الْمَسْعُودِيُّ: وَالْأَوْقَاصُ مَا دُونَ الثَّلَاثِينَ وَمَا بَيْنَ الْأَرْبَعِينَ إِلَى السِّتِّينَ، وَإِذَا كَانَتْ سِتُّونَ فَفِيهَا تَبِيعَتَانِ، فَإِذَا كَانَتْ سَبْعُونَ فَفِيهَا مُسِنَّةٌ وَتَبِيعٌ، فَإِذَا كَانَتْ ثَمَانُونَ فَفِيهَا مُسِنَّتَانِ، فَإِذَا كَانَتْ تِسْعُونَ فَفِيهَا ثَلَاثُ تَبَائِعَ، قَالَ بَقِيَّةُ: قَالَ الْمَسْعُودِيُّ الْأَوْقَاصُ: هِيَ بِالسِّينِ الْأَوْقَاسُ فَلَا تَجْعَلْهَا بِصَادٍ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) to Yemen, he ordered him to take from every thirty cattle a male or female yearling calf that is a jadha'ah, and from every forty cattle a musinnah. They said: What is the ruling about the awqas? He said: He did not command me anything about them, and I will ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when I go to him (peace and blessings be upon him). So when he came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he asked him about the awqas, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no zakah in them." Al-Mas'udi said: The awqas are what is below thirty and what is between forty and sixty. When they reach sixty, there are two female yearling calves in them; when they reach seventy, there is one musinnah and one yearling calf; when they reach eighty, there are two musinnahs; and when they reach ninety, there are three yearling calves. Al-Mas'udi said: Awqas is (spelled) with sin, so do not take it as being with sad.
