Bayhaqi 7298 — How the zakah of cattle was made obligatory

وَأَمَّا الْأَثَرُ الَّذِي أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ثنا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ الْفَسَوِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ اللُّؤْلُئِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ ثَوْرٍ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، " فِي كُلِّ خَمْسٍ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ شَاةٌ وَفِي عَشْرٍ شَاتَانِ وَفِي خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ ثَلَاثُ شِيَاهٍ وَفِي عِشْرِينَ أَرْبَعُ شِيَاهٍ "، قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: فَإِذَا كَانَتْ خَمْسًا وَعِشْرِينَ فَفِيهَا بَقَرَةٌ إِلَى خَمْسٍ وَسَبْعِينَ، فَإِذَا زَادَتْ عَلَى خَمْسٍ وَسَبْعِينَ فَفِيهَا بَقَرَتَانِ إِلَى عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةٍ فَإِذَا زَادَتْ عَلَى عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةٍ فَفِي كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ بَقَرَةً بَقَرَةٌ، قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ: قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: وَبَلَغَنَا أَنَّ قَوْلَهُمْ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " فِي كُلِّ ثَلَاثِينَ بَقَرَةً تَبِيعٌ وَفِي كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ بَقَرَةً بَقَرَةٌ "، إِنَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ تَخْفِيفًا لِأَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ ثُمَّ كَانَ هَذَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ مَوْقُوفٌ وَمُنْقَطِعٌ وَرُوِيَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ مُنْقَطِعًا وَالْمُنْقَطِعُ لَا تَثْبُتُ بِهِ حُجَّةٌ وَمَا قَبْلَهُ أَكْثَرُ وَأَشْهَرُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: In every five cattle there is one sheep, in ten cattle two sheep, in fifteen three, and in twenty cattle four sheep.
Imam al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When they reach twenty-five, there is one cow up to seventy-five; when they exceed seventy-five, there are two cows up to one hundred and twenty; and when they exceed one hundred and twenty, there is one cow in every forty. Ma'mar said: Al-Zuhri said: It has reached us that their saying that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In every thirty cattle there is a yearling calf, and in every forty cattle one cow," was a relief for the people of Yemen, and then this came after that.
So this hadith is mawquf (stopping short of the Prophet) and munqati' (with a broken chain); it has also been narrated from al-Zuhri through another chain as munqati', and a munqati' report does not establish proof. The reports before it are better known.
