Bayhaqi 7354 — The time at which zakah becomes obligatory

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْعَبْدِيُّ، ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، مَوْلَى الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُكَاتَبٍ لَهُ قَاطَعَهُ بِمَالٍ عَظِيمٍ هَلْ عَلَيْهِ فِيهِ زَكَاةٌ؟ فَقَالَ الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ: " إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَأْخُذُ مِنْ مَالٍ زَكَاةً حَتَّى يَحُولَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَوْلُ "، قَالَ الْقَاسِمُ: " وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِذَا أَعْطَى النَّاسَ أُعْطِيَاتِهِمْ سَأَلَ الرَّجُلَ هَلْ عِنْدَكَ مِنْ مَالٍ وَجَبَتْ عَلَيْكَ فِيهِ ⦗١٨٤⦘ الزَّكَاةُ؟ فَإِنْ قَالَ: نَعَمْ أَخَذَ مِنْ عَطَائِهِ زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ ذَلِكَ، وَإِنْ قَالَ: لَا. سَلَّمَ إِلَيْهِ عَطَاءَهُ وَلَمْ يَأْخُذْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا ".
Muhammad bin Uqbah, the freed slave of al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him), said: I asked al-Qasim bin Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) about a mukatab of mine who had settled with me (for his freedom) for a large sum of money: was zakah due on it? Al-Qasim bin Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) did not take zakah from any wealth until a full year had passed over it. And when Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) gave people their stipends, he would ask: Do you have any other wealth on which zakah has become due upon you? If he said: Yes, he would take the zakah from his stipend; and if he said: No, he would hand over the whole stipend to him and take nothing at all from it.
