Bayhaqi 7497 — A Muslim who cultivates kharaj land owes a tenth

قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: {خُذْ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ صَدَقَةً تُطَهِّرُهُمْ} [التوبة: 103] وَقَالَ: {وَآتُوا حَقَّهُ يَوْمَ حَصَادِهِ} [الأنعام: 141] وَقَالَ: {وَمِمَّا أَخْرَجْنَا لَكُمْ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ} [البقرة: 267] وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسَةِ أَوْسُقٍ صَدَقَةٌ "، وَقَالَ: " فِيمَا سَقَتِ السَّمَاءُ وَالْعُيُونُ الْعُشْرُ وَفِيمَا سُقِيَ بِالنَّضْحِ نِصْفُ الْعُشْرِ "..
Allah Almighty says: "Take from their wealth a charity by which you purify them." [Surah al-Tawbah: 103]
And He said: "And give its due on the day of its harvest." [Surah al-An'am: 141]
And He said: "And from what We have brought forth for you from the earth." [Surah al-Baqarah: 267]
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no zakah on (produce) less than five wasqs."
And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On (land) watered by the sky (rain) and springs, a tenth ('ushr) is due; and on what is watered by camels (or artificial means), a twentieth (half a tenth) is due."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَكُونُ فِي يَدَهِ أَرْضُ الْخَرَاجِ فَيُسْأَلُ الزَّكَاةَ فَيَقُولُ: إِنَّ عَلَيَّ الْخَرَاجَ. قَالَ: " الْخَرَاجُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ، وَفِي الْحَبِّ الزَّكَاةُ " قَالَ: وَسَأَلْتُهُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ.
Amr bin Maymun bin Mihran (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked Umar bin Abd al-Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) about the zakah of a Muslim who holds land subject to tax (kharaj): when zakah is asked of him, he says that the tax on it is also due from him. He said: The tax is on the land, and zakah is on the produce. He said: I asked him once more, and he gave the same answer.
