Bayhaqi 7420 — Those who held there is zakah on horses

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرٍ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ، أنبأ أَبُو عُمَرَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ نُجَيْدٍ السُّلَمِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، ثنا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، أنبأ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُمَرُ، أَنَّ حِيَّ بْنَ يَعْلَى أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ يَعْلَى قَالَ: ابْتَاعَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ أَخُو يَعْلَى مِنْ رَجُلٍ فَرَسًا أُنْثَى بِمِائَةِ قَلُوصٍ فَبَدَا لَهُ فَنَدِمَ الْبَائِعُ، فَأَتَى عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ يَعْلَى وَأَخَاهُ غَصَبَانِي فَرَسِي، فَكَتَبَ عُمَرُ إِلَى يَعْلَى بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ " أَنِ الْحَقْ بِي "، فَأَتَاهُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ الْخَيْلَ لَتَبْلُغُ هَذَا عِنْدَكُمْ "، قَالَ: مَا عَلِمْتُ فَرَسًا قَبْلَ هَذِهِ بَلَغَ هَذَا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: " فَنَأْخُذُ مِنْ كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ شَاةً شَاةً، وَلَا نَأْخُذُ مِنَ الْخَيْلِ شَيْئًا، خُذْ مِنْ كُلِّ فَرَسٍ دِينَارًا "، قَالَ: فَضَرَبَ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ دِينَارًا دِينَارًا. وَقَدْ رُوِّينَا فِي الْبَابِ قَبْلَهُ مَا دَلَّ عَلَى أَنَّ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ إِنَّمَا أَمَرَ بِذَلِكَ حِينَ أَحَبَّهُ أَرْبَابُهَا، وَهَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةُ إِنْ صَحَّتْ تَكُونُ مَحْمُولَةً عَلَى مِثْلِ ذَلِكَ لَا تَتَّفِقُ الرِّوَايَاتُ وَلَا تَخْتَلِفُ، وَحَدِيثُ عِرَاكٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَصَحُّ مَا رُوِيَ فِي ذَلِكَ وَهُوَ يَقْطَعُ بِنَفْيِ الصَّدَقَةِ عَنْهَا وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Ya'la said that Abd al-Rahman bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) bought a mare from a man in exchange for one hundred young she-camels (qalus). Then something became apparent to him, and the seller regretted it; he came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Ya'la and his brother have seized my mare. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to Ya'la: Come and meet me. He came and informed him, and he said: Do horses reach such a value among you? He said: I do not know whether horses have reached this before or not. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We take one sheep out of every forty sheep, and take nothing at all from horses! So collect one dinar from every horse. So he fixed one dinar on each horse.
We have narrated earlier on this matter what indicates that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered this only when the owners wished it. If this narration is authentic, it is to be understood in the same way, so that the narrations agree and do not conflict. The hadith of Irak from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) is the most authentic of what has been narrated on this, and it decisively negates zakah on horses. And Allah knows best.
