أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الَحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو النَّضْرِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ الْفَقِيهُ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَا: ثنا أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ بِسْطَامٍ، ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، ثنا رَوْحُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ صَيْفِيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْبَدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا بَعَثَ مُعَاذًا إِلَى الْيَمَنِ قَالَ: " إِنَّكَ تَقْدَمُ عَلَى قَوْمٍ أَهْلِ كِتَابٍ فَلْيَكُنْ أَوْلَ مَا تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَيْهِ عِبَادَةُ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَإِذَا عَرَفُوا اللهَ فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّ ⦗١٧٠⦘ اللهَ قَدْ فَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ فِي يَوْمِهِمْ وَلَيْلَتِهِمْ، فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ فَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ زَكَاةً تُؤْخَذُ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ فَتُرَدُّ عَلَى فُقَرَائِهِمْ، فَإِذَا أَطَاعُوا بِهَا فَخُذْ مِنْهُمْ وَتَوَقَّ كَرَائِمَ أَمْوَالِ النَّاسِ " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ وَمُسْلِمٌ جَمِيعًا فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ بِسْطَامٍ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) to Yemen, he said: "You are going to a people who are People of the Book. So the first thing you invite them to should be the worship of Allah, Glorified and Exalted. When they come to know Allah, then tell them that Allah Almighty has made five prayers obligatory upon them in each day and night. When they do that, inform them that Allah has also made zakah obligatory upon them, which will be taken from the wealthy and given to the poor. When they obey this, take it from them, and beware of the choicest of their wealth."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ، ثنا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ خَبَّابٍ، عَنْ مَيْسَرَةَ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ، قَالَ: سِرْتُ أَوْ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ سَارَ مَعَ مُصَدِّقِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِذَا فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " أَنْ لَا تَأْخُذْ مِنْ رَاضِعِ لَبَنٍ وَلَا يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَ مُتَفَرِّقٍ وَلَا يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَ مُجْتَمِعٍ، وَكَانَ إِنَّمَا يَأْتِي الْمِيَاهَ حِينَ تُرَدُّ الْغَنَمُ فَيَقُولُ: أَدُّوا صَدَقَاتِ أَمْوَالِكُمْ ". قَالَ فَعَمَدَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى نَاقَةٍ كَوْمَاءَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا صَالِحٍ مَا الْكَوْمَاءُ؟ قَالَ: عَظِيمَةُ السَّنَامِ، قَالَ: فَأَبَى أَنْ يَقْبَلَهَا قَالَ: فَقَالَ: إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ خَيْرَ إِبِلِي، قَالَ: فَأَبَى أَنْ يَقْبَلَهَا قَالَ: فَخَطَمَ لَهُ أُخْرَى دُونَهَا فَأَبَى أَنْ يَقْبَلَهَا، ثُمَّ خَطَمَ لَهُ أُخْرَى دُونَهَا فَقَبِلَهَا وَقَالَ: إِنِّي آخُذُهَا وَأَخَافُ أَنْ يَجِدَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ عَمَدْتَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ فَتَخَيَّرْتَ عَلَيْهِ إِبِلَهُ.
Suwayd bin Ghafalah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was informed by someone who went with the collector in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), to whom he (peace and blessings be upon him) had said: "He is not to take a milk-giving animal, nor combine those grazing separately, and those grazing together are not to be separated." So he would come to them at the watering place and, when the sheep came there, say to them: Pay the zakah of your wealth. He said: A man went for his kawma' she-camel. He said: I said: O Abu Salih, what is a kawma'? He said: One with a huge hump. He said: He refused to take it, and the man said: I want you to take from my best camels, but the collector refused to accept it. Then he offered another, and he refused that too; then he offered a third, and he accepted it and said: I am taking it, but I fear that the beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will hold me to account and say: "You went to a man and picked out the best of his camels against him."
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ، بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ دَرَسْتَوَيْهِ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا سَعِيدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا هُشَيْمٌ، أنبأ هِلَالُ بْنُ خَبَّابٍ، عَنْ مَيْسَرَةَ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ، قَالَ: أَتَانَا مُصَدِّقُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ فِي عَهْدِي " أَنْ لَا آخُذَ مِنْ رَاضِعِ لَبَنٍ وَلَا يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَ مُجْتَمِعٍ وَلَا يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَ مُفْتَرِقٍ " وَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِنَاقَةٍ كَوْمَاءَ فَقَالَ: خُذْهَا فَأَبَى.
Suwayd bin Ghafalah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The collector of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us, so I came and sat with him. I heard him saying: "Included in my instructions is that I do not take a milk-giving animal, nor combine those grazing separately, nor separate those grazing together." Then a man brought him a she-camel with a large hump and said: "Take this," but the collector refused to take it.
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، ثنا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي لَيْلَى الْكِنْدِيِّ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ قَالَ: أَخَذْتُ بِيَدِ مُصَدِّقِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَتَيْتُهُ بِنَاقَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ فَقَالَ: " أِيُّ سَمَاءٍ تُظِلُّنِي وَأِيُّ أَرْضٍ تُقِلُّنِي إِذَا أَخَذْتُ خِيَارَ مَالِ امْرِئٍ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِنَاقَةٍ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ فَقَبِلَهَا ".
Suwayd bin Ghafalah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I took the hand of the collector (may Allah be pleased with him) of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and brought him to a large she-camel, and he said: Which sky will shade me and which earth will carry me if I take someone's best wealth? So then I brought him a she-camel from among the camels, and he accepted it.
أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ حَمُّوَيْهِ ثنا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، عَنْ شَرِيكٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي لَيْلَى الْكِنْدِيِّ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ، قَالَ أَتَى مُصَدِّقُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَقَرَأْتُ فِي ⦗١٧١⦘ عَهْدِهِ أَنْ " لَا يُجْمَعَ بَيْنَ مُتَفَرِّقٍ وَلَا يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَ مُجْتَمِعٍ خَشْيَةَ الصَّدَقَةِ "، قَالَ: فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِنَاقَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ مُلَمْلَمَةٍ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْخُذَهَا، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ بِأُخْرَى دُونَهَا فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْخُذَهَا، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ بِأُخْرَى دُونَهَا فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْخُذَهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أِيُّ أَرْضٍ تُقِلُّنِي وَأِيُّ سَمَاءٍ تُظِلُّنِي إِذَا أَنَا أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ أَخَذْتُ خِيَارَ إِبِلِ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ وَقَدْ مَضَى فِي حَدِيثِ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ حِينَ خَرَجَ مُصَدِّقًا وَفِيهِ دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى جَوَازِ الْأَخْذِ إِذَا تَطَوَّعَ بِهِ صَاحِبُهُ.
Suwayd bin Ghafalah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The collector of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came, so I took his hand and he took my hand, and I read in his document: "Those grazing together are not to be separated, and those grazing separately are not to be combined, for fear of zakah." A man came with a large she-camel, and he refused to take it; then he brought another, and he refused that too; then he brought yet another, and he refused that too, and said: "Which earth will carry me and which sky will shade me when I come to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) having taken the best camels of a Muslim man?" It has already passed in the hadith of Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him), when he went out as a collector, and in it is evidence that it is permissible to take what is given voluntarily.
أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ، ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، ثنا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا فِي مَكَانِ أَيُّوبَ عَلَيْهِ جُبَّةٌ صُوفٌ، وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ فِي مَجْلِسِ أَيُّوبَ أَعْرَابِيًّا عَلَيْهِ جُبَّةٌ صُوفٌ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْقَوْمَ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَوْلَايَ قُرَّةُ بْنُ دَعْمُوصٍ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَاعِدٌ وَأَصْحَابُهُ حَوْلَهُ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَدْنُوَ مِنْهُ فَلَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ أَدْنُوَ مِنْهُ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، اسْتَغْفِرْ لِلْغُلَامِ النُّمَيْرِيِّ، فَقَالَ: " غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ "، قَالَ: وَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الضَّحَّاكَ سَاعِيًا قَالَ: فَجَاءَ بِإِبِلٍ جُلَّةٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَتَيْتُ هِلَالَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ وَنُمَيْرَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ وَعَامِرَ بْنَ رَبِيعٍ فَأَخَذْتُ جُلَّةَ أَمْوَالِهِمْ "، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُكَ تَذْكُرُ الْغَزْوَ فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ آتِيَكَ بِإِبِلٍ تَرْكَبُهَا وَتَحْمِلُ عَلَيْهَا أَصْحَابَكَ، فَقَالَ: " وَاللهِ لَلَّذِي تَرَكْتَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الَّذِي جِئْتَ بِهِ، اذْهَبْ فَرُدَّهَا عَلَيْهِمْ وَخُذْ صَدَقَاتِهِمْ مِنْ حَوَاشِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ ".
Sayyiduna Qurrah bin Da'mus (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I came to Madinah, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was seated, and the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were around him (peace and blessings be upon him). I wanted to come close and sit near him (peace and blessings be upon him), but I could not get close. Then I said: O Messenger of Allah! Seek forgiveness for your Numayri servant. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Ghafara Allahu laka" (May Allah forgive you). He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent al-Dahhak (may Allah be pleased with him) as a collector, and he brought back a large camel. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "You went to Hilal bin Amir, Numayr bin Amir and Amir bin Rabi' and took the finest of their wealth." He said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I heard you (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioning a military expedition, so I wanted to bring a camel that you (peace and blessings be upon him) could ride, and your Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) too. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Allah! What you left behind was dearer to me than what you have brought. Go and return it, and collect the zakah from their ordinary wealth."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي رَجُلَانِ مِنْ أَشْجَعَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ، كَانَ يَأْتِيهِمْ مُصَدِّقًا فَيَقُولُ لِرَبِّ الْمَالِ: " أَخْرِجْ إِلَيَّ صَدَقَةَ مَالِكَ " فَلَا يَقُودُ إِلَيْهِ شَاةً فِيهَا وَفَاءً مِنْ حِقِّهِ إِلَّا قَبِلَهَا قَالَ مَالِكٌ: السُّنَّةُ عِنْدَنَا أَنَّهُ لَا يُضَيَّقُ عَلَى النَّاسِ فِي زَكَاتِهِمْ وَأَنْ يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ مَا دَفَعُوا مِنْ زَكَاةِ أَمْوَالِهِمْ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: إِذَا كَانَ فِيمَا دَفَعُوا وَفَاءٌ مِنَ الْحَقِّ كَمَا رَوَاهُ فِي حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ.
Muhammad bin Yahya bin Habban said: Two men from the tribe of Ashja' informed me that Muhammad bin Maslamah al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) used to come to them as a collector, and he would say to the owner of the wealth: Bring out the zakah of your wealth. Whatever sheep they brought to him in zakah that fulfilled his due, he would accept it. Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The Sunnah is that people should not be put to hardship in collecting zakah, and that whatever they pay in zakah should be accepted from them. The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: This is when the zakah fully meets what is obligatory upon him, as has been stated in the hadith of Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him).
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، أنبأ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، أنبأ هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ ⦗١٧٢⦘ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلًا مُصَدِّقًا قَالَ: " لَا تَأْخُذْ مِنْ حَزَرَاتِ أَنْفَسِ النَّاسِ شَيْئًا خُذِ الشَّارِفَ وَالْبِكْرَ وَذَوَاتِ الْعَيْبِ ".
Hisham bin Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a man as a collector and said: "Do not take from the people's choicest wealth; rather accept the old, the young and the defective as well."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ، قَالَ أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْكَارِزِيُّ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ: " يَقُولُ: لَا تَأْخُذْ خِيَارَ أَمْوَالِهِمْ خُذِ الشَّارِفَ، وَهِيَ الْمُسِنَّةُ الْهَرِمَةُ، وَالْبِكْرَ وَهُوَ الصَّغِيرُ مِنْ ذُكُورِ الْإِبِلِ وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَوْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُؤْخَذَ النَّاسُ بِالشَّرَائِعِ " قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: الْحَدِيثُ مُرْسَلٌ وَقَدْ يُتَصَوَّرُ عِنْدَنَا أَخْذُ الذُّكُورِ وَالصِّغَارِ وَالْمَعِيبَةِ، إِذَا كَانَتْ مَاشِيَتُهُ كُلُّهَا كَذَلِكَ.
Abu Ubayd (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Do not take from their choicest wealth; rather accept the old one, and the bakr, that is, a young camel." And this was at the beginning of Islam, before people had learned the Shari'ah.
The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: This hadith is mursal. In our view, it is conceivable that when all the livestock are defective and male, the male, the young and the defective may be taken.

وَرُوِّينَا عَنِ الثَّوْرِيِّ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ قَالَ: " إِذَا انْتَهَى الْمُصَدِّقُ إِلَى الْغَنَمِ صَدَعَهَا صَدْعَيْنِ فَيَأْخُذُ صَاحِبُ الْغَنَمِ خَيْرَ الصَّدْعَيْنِ وَيَأْخُذُ صَاحِبُ الصَّدَقَةِ مِنَ الصَّدْعِ الْآخَرِ ".
Al-Hakam said: When the collector came to the sheep, he would divide them into two parts; then the owner of the sheep would take the better part, and the collector would collect from the other part.
وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " يَصْدَعُهَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَصْدَاعٍ ثُلُثَ خِيَارٍ، وَثُلُثَ وَسَطٍ، وَثُلُثَ دُونٍ، فَيَدَعُ الْمُصَدِّقُ الْخِيَارَ وَيَأْخُذُ مِنَ الْوَسَطِ " أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو نَصْرٍ الْعِرَاقِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْهُمَا بِهِمَا جَمِيعًا، وَقَدْ حَكَى الشَّافِعِيُّ فِي الْقَدِيمِ هَذَيْنِ الْمَذْهَبَيْنِ مِنْ غَيْرِ تَسْمِيَةِ قَائِلَيْهِمَا، وَرُوِّينَا عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ مِثْلَ قَوْلِ الْقَاسِمِ، وَرُوِّينَا عَنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَخْتَارُ صَاحِبُ الْغَنَمِ الثُّلُثَ ثُمَّ اخْتَارُوا مِنَ الثُّلُثَيْنِ الْبَاقِيَيْنِ.
Al-Qasim bin Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: He would divide them into three parts: one third the best, one third middling animals, and one third weaker than that; the collector would leave the best and collect from the middling. It is reported from Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that the owner of the sheep would choose one third, and then they would choose from the remaining two thirds.
