Bayhaqi 7302 — The age of the animal taken in the zakah of sheep

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْعَبْدِيُّ، ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الدِّيلِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنٍ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ الثَّقَفِيِّ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بَعَثَهُ مُصْدِقًا وَكَانَ يَعُدُّ عَلَى النَّاسِ بِالسَّخْلِ، فَقَالُوا: أَتَعُدُّ عَلَيْنَا بِالسَّخْلِ وَلَا تَأْخُذُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا؟ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ: " نَعَمْ نَعُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالسَّخْلَةِ يَحْمِلُهَا الرَّاعِي وَلَا نَأْخُذُهَا وَلَا نَأْخُذُ الْأَكُولَةَ وَلَا الرُّبَّى وَلَا الْمَاخِضَ وَلَا فَحْلَ الْغَنَمِ، وَنَأْخُذُ الْجَذَعَةَ وَالثَّنِيَّةَ وَذَلِكَ عَدْلٌ بَيْنَ غِذَاءِ الْمَالِ وَخِيَارِهِ ".
Sayyiduna Sufyan bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) sent him as a collector, and he used to count the people's lambs against them. They said: Do you count even our lambs, but take none of them? When he came to Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), he mentioned this, whereupon Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Yes, we will count their young, even the one the shepherd carries, but we will not take it; nor will we take the sheep fattened for eating, nor the one with young, nor the pregnant one, nor the stud of the flock; rather we will take sheep of jadha'ah or thaniyyah age, and that is fairness between the young of the wealth and its best.
