امام مالک نے پڑھا حضرت عمر بن خطاب کی کتاب صدقہ اور زکوٰۃ کے باب میں اس میں لکھا تھا بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم یہ کتاب ہے صدقہ کی چوبیس اونٹنیوں تک ہر پانچ میں ایک بکری لازم ہے جب چوبیس سے زیادہ ہوں پینتیس تک ایک برس کی اونٹنی ہے اگر ایک برس کی اونٹنی نہ ہو تو دو برس کا اونٹ ہے اس سے زیادہ میں پنتالیس اونٹ تک دو برس کی اونٹنی ہے اس سے زیادہ میں ساٹھ اونٹ تک تین برس کی اونٹنی ہے جو قابل ہو جفتی کے اس سے زیادہ میں پچھتر اونٹ تک چار برس کی اونٹنی ہے اس سے زیادہ میں نوے اونٹ تک دو اونٹنیاں ہیں دو دو برس کی اس سے زیادہ میں ایک سو بیس اونٹ تک تین تین برس کی دو اونٹنیاں ہیں جو قابل ہوں جفتی کے اس سے زیادہ میں ہر چالیس اونٹ تک دو برس کی اونٹنی ہے اور ہر پچاس اونٹ میں تین برس کی اونٹنی ہے بکریاں جو جنگل میں چرتی ہوں جب چالیس تک پہنچ جائیں ایک بکری زکوٰۃ کی لازم ہوگی اس سے زیادہ میں تین سو بکریوں تک تین بکریاں بعد اس کے ہر سینکڑے میں ایک بکری دینا ہوگی اور زکوٰۃ میں بکرا نہ لیا جائے گا اسی طرح بوڑھے اور عیب دار مگر جب زکوٰۃ لینے والے کی رائے میں مناسب ہو اور جد اجدا اموال ایک نہ کئے جائیں گے اسی طرح ایک مال جدا جدا نہ کیا جائے گا زکوٰۃ کے خوف سے اور جو دو آدمی شریک ہوں تو وہ آپس میں رجوع کرلیں برابر کا حصہ لگا کر اور چاندی میں جب پانچ اوقیہ ہو تو چالیسواں حصہ لازم آئے گا۔

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had read what Umar ibn al-Khattab had written about zakat, and in it he found: "In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the ompassionate." The Book of Zakat. On twenty-four camels or less zakat is paid with sheep, one ewe for every five camels. On anything above that, up to thirty-five camels, a she-camel in its second year, and, if there is no she camel in its second year, a male camel in its third year. On anything above that, up to forty-five camels, a she-camel in its third year. On anything above that, up to sixty camels, a she camel in its fourth year that is ready to be sired. On anything above that, up to seventy-five camels, a she-camel in its fifth year. On anything above that, up to ninety camels, two she-camels in their third year. On anything above that, up to one hundred and twenty camels, two she-camels in their fourth year that are ready to be sired. On any number of camels above that, for every forty camels, a she-camel in its third year, and for every fifty, a she-camel in its fourth year. On grazing sheep and goats, if they come to forty or more, up to one hundred and twenty head, one ewe. On anything above that, up to two hundred head, two ewes. On anything above that, up to three hundred, three ewes. On anything above that, for every hundred, one ewe. A ram should not be taken for zakat. nor an old or an injured ewe, except as the zakat-collector thinks fit. Those separated should not be gathered together nor should those gathered together be separated in order to avoid paying zakat. Whatever belongs to two associates is settled between them proportionately. On silver, if it reaches five awaq (two hundred dirhams), one fortieth is paid."

عَنْ طَاوُسٍ الْيَمَانِيِّ أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ أَخَذَ مِنْ ثَلَاثِينَ بَقَرَةً تَبِيعًا وَمِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ بَقَرَةً مُسِنَّةً وَأُتِيَ بِمَا دُونَ ذَلِکَ فَأَبَی أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا وَقَالَ لَمْ أَسْمَعْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهِ شَيْئًا حَتَّی أَلْقَاهُ فَأَسْأَلَهُ فَتُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْدُمَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ

طاؤس یمانی سے روایت ہے کہ معاذ بن جبل نے تیس گایوں میں سے ایک گائے ایک برس کی لی اور چالیس گایوں میں دو برس کی ایک گائے لی اور اس سے کم میں کچھ نہ لیا اور کہا کہ نہیں سنا میں نے رسول اللہ ﷺ سے اس بارے میں یہاں تک کہ پوچھوں گا آپ ﷺ سے پس وفات پائی رسول اللہ ﷺ نے معاذ بن جبل کے آنے سے پہلے۔

Yahya related to me from Malik from Humayd ibn Qays al-Makki from Tawus al Yamani that from thirty cows, Muadh ibn Jabal took one cow in its second year, and from forty cows, one cow in its third or fourth year, and when less than that (i.e. thirty cows) was brought to him he refused to take anything from it. He said, "I have not heard anything about it from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. When I meet him, I will ask him." But the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, died before Muadh ibn Jabal returned. Yahya said that Malik said, "The best that I have heard about some one who has sheep or goats with two or more shepherds in different places is that they are added together and the owner then pays the zakat on them. This is the same situation as a man who has gold and silver scattered in the hands of various people. He must add it all u p and pay whatever zakat there is to pay on the sum total." Yahya said that Malik said, about a man who had both sheep and goats, that they were added up together for the zakat to be assessed, and if between them they came to a number on which zakat was due, he paid zakat on them. Malik added, "They are all considered as sheep, and in Umar ibn al-Khattabs book it says, On grazing sheep and goats, if they come to forty or more, one ewe. " Malik said, "If there are more sheep than goats and their owner only has to pay one ewe, the zakat collector takes the ewe from the sheep. If there are more goats than sheep, he takes it from the goats. If there is an equal number of sheep and goats, he takes the ewe from whichever kind he wishes." Yahya said that Malik said, "Similarly, Arabian camels and Bactrian camels are added up together in order to assess the zakat that the owner has to pay. They are all considered as camels. If there are more Arabian camels than Bactrians and the owner only has to pay one camel, the zakat collector takes it from the Arabian ones. If, however, there are more Bactrian camels he takes it from those. If there is an equal number of both, he takes the camel from whichever kind he wishes." Malik said, "Similarly, cows and water buffaloes are added up together and are all considered as cattle. If there are more cows than water buffalo and the owner only has to pay one cow, the zakat collector takes it from the cows. If there are more water buffalo, he takes it from them. If there is an equal number of both, he takes the cow from whichever kind he wishes. So if zakat is necessary, it is assessed taking both kinds as one group." Yahya said that Malik said, "No zakat is due from anyone who comes into possession of livestock, whether camels or cattle or sheep and goats, until a year has elapsed over them from the day he acquired them, unless he already had in his possession a nisab of livestock. (The nisab is the minimum amount on which zakat has to be paid, either five head of camels, or thirty cattle, or forty sheep and goats). If he already had five head of camels, or thirty cattle, or forty sheep and goats, and he then acquired additional camels, or cattle, or sheep and goats, either by trade, or gift, or inheritance, he must pay zakat on them when he pays the zakat on the livestock he already has, even if a year has not elapsed over the acquisition. And even if the additional livestock that he acquired has had zakat taken from it the day before he bought it, or the day before he inherited it, he must still pay the zakat on it when he pays the zakat on the livestock he already has " Yahya said that Malik said, "This is the same situation as some one who has some silver on which he pays the zakat and then uses to buy some goods with from somebody else. He then has to pay zakat on those goods when he sells them. It could be that one man will have to pay zakat on them one day, and by the following day the other man will also have to pay." Malik said, in the case of a man who had sheep and goats which did not reach the zakatable amount, and who then bought or inherited an additional number of sheep and goats well above the zakatable amount, that he did not have to pay zakat on all his sheep and goats until a year had elapsed over them from the day he acquired the new animals, whether he bought them or inherited them.This was because none of the livestock that a man had, whether it be camels, or cattle, or sheep and goats, was counted as a nisab until there was enough of any one kind for him to have to pay zakat on it. This was the nisab which is used for assessing the zakat on what the owner had additionally acquired, whether it were a large or small amount of livestock. Malik said, "If a man has enough camels, or cattle, or sheep and goats, for him to have to pay zakat on each kind, and then he acquires another camel, or cow, or sheep, or goat, it must be included with the rest of his animals when he pays zakat on them " Yahya said that Malik said, "This is what I like most out of what I heard about the matter." Malik said, in the case of a man who does not have the animal required of him for the zakat, "If it is a two-year-old she-camel that he does not have, a three-year-old male camel is taken instead. If it is a three- or four- or five-year-old she-camel that he does not have, then he must buy the required animal so that he gives the collector what is due. I do not like it if the owner gives the collector the equivalent value." Malik said, about camels used for carrying water, and cattle used for working water-wheels or ploughing, "In my opinion such animals are included when assessing zakat."

عَنْ ابْنٍ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ الثَّقَفِيِّ عَنْ جَدِّهِ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ بَعَثَهُ مُصَدِّقًا فَكَانَ يَعُدُّ عَلَى النَّاسِ بِالسَّخْلِ فَقَالُوا أَتَعُدُّ عَلَيْنَا بِالسَّخْلِ وَلَا تَأْخُذُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ذَكَرَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ نَعَمْ تَعُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالسَّخْلَةِ يَحْمِلُهَا الرَّاعِي وَلَا تَأْخُذُهَا وَلَا تَأْخُذُ الْأَكُولَةَ وَلَا الرُّبَّى وَلَا الْمَاخِضَ وَلَا فَحْلَ الْغَنَمِ وَتَأْخُذُ الْجَذَعَةَ وَالثَّنِيَّةَ وَذَلِكَ عَدْلٌ بَيْنَ غِذَاءِ الْغَنَمِ وَخِيَارِهِ

سفیان بن عبداللہ کو عمر بن خطاب نے متصدق ( یعنی زکوٰۃ وصول کرنے والا) کرکے بھیجا تو وہ بکریوں میں بچوں کو بھی شمار کرتے تھے لوگوں نے کہا تم بچوں کو شمار کرتے ہیں لیکن بچہ لیتے نہیں ہو تو جب آئے وہ عمر بن خطاب کے پاس بیان کیا ان سے یہ امر تو کہا حضرت عمر نے ہاں ہم گنتے ہیں بچوں کو بلکہ اس بچے کو جس کو چرواہا اٹھا کر چلتا ہے لیکن نہیں لیتے اس کو نہ موٹی بکری کو جو کھانے کے واسطے موٹی کی جائے اور نہ اس بکری کو جو اپنے بچے کو پالتی ہو اور نہ حاملہ کو اور نہ نر کو اور لیتے ہیں ہم ایک سال یا دو سال کی بکری ہو جو متوسط ہے نہ بچہ ہے نہ بوڑھی ہے نہ بہت عمدہ ہے۔

Yahya said that Malik said, concerning two associates, "If they share one herdsman, one male animal, one pasture and one watering place then the two men are associates, as long as each one of them knows his own property from that of his companion If someone cannot tell his property apart from that of his fellow, he is not an associate, but rather, a co-owner " Malik said, "It is not obligatory for both associates to pay zakat unless both of them have a zakatable amount (of livestock). If, for instance, one of the associates has forty or more sheep and goats and the other has less than forty sheep and goats, then the one who has forty has to pay zakat and the one who has less does not. If both of them have a zakatable amount (of livestock) then both of them are assessed together (i.e the flock is assessed as one) and both of them have to pay zakat. If one of them has a thousand sheep, or less, that he has to pay zakat on, and the other has forty, or more, then they are associates, and each one pays his contribution according to the number of animals he has - so much from the one with a thousand, and so much from the one with forty. Malik said, "Two associates in camels are the same as two associates in sheep and goats, and, for the purposes of zakat, are assessed together if each one of them has a zakatable amount (of camels). That is because the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, There is no zakat on less than five head of camels, and Umar ibn al-Khattab said, On grazing sheep and goats, if they come to forty or more - one ewe. " Yahya said that Malik said, "This is what I like most out of what I have heard about the matter." Malik said that when Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "Those separated should not be gathered together nor should those gathered together be separated in order to avoid paying zakat," what he meant was the owners of livestock. Malik said, "What he meant when he said, Those separated should not be gathered together is, for instance, that there is a group of three men, each of whom has forty sheep and goats, and each of whom thus has to pay zakat. Then, when the zakat collector is on his way ,they gather their flocks together so that they only owe one ewe between them. This they are forbidden to do. What he meant when he said, nor should those gathered together be separated, is, for instance, that there are two associates, each one of whom has a hundred and one sheep and goats, and each of whom must therefore pay three ewes. Then, when the zakat collector is on his way, they split up their flocks so that they only have to pay one ewe each. This they are forbidden to do. And so it is said, Those separated should not be gathered together nor should those gathered together be separated in order to avoid paying zakat. " Malik said, "This is what I have heard about the matter."

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ مُرَّ عَلَی عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ بِغَنَمٍ مِنْ الصَّدَقَةِ فَرَأَی فِيهَا شَاةً حَافِلًا ذَاتَ ضَرْعٍ عَظِيمٍ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ مَا هَذِهِ الشَّاةُ فَقَالُوا شَاةٌ مِنْ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ مَا أَعْطَی هَذِهِ أَهْلُهَا وَهُمْ طَائِعُونَ لَا تَفْتِنُوا النَّاسَ لَا تَأْخُذُوا حَزَرَاتِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ نَکِّبُوا عَنْ الطَّعَامِ

حضرت ام المومنین عائشہ ؓ سے روایت ہے کہ حضرت عمر کے پاس بکریاں آئیں زکوٰۃ کی اس میں ایک بکری دیکھی بہت دودھ والی تو پوچھا آپ نے یہ بکری کیسی ہے لوگوں نے کہا زکوٰۃ کی بکری ہے حضرت عمر نے فرمایا کہ اس کے مالک نے کبھی اس کو خوشی سے نہ دیا ہوگا لوگوں کو فتنے میں نہ ڈالو ان کے بہترین اموال نہ لو اور باز آؤ ان کا رزق چھین لینے سے۔

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad that Aisha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Sheep from the zakat were brought past Umar ibn al-Khattab and he saw amongst them a sheep with a large udder, ready to give milk, and he said, What is this sheep doing here? and they replied, It is one of the sheep from the zakat. Umar said, The owners did not give this sheep willingly. Do not subject people to trials. Do not take from the muslims those of their animals which are the best food-producers. "

عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَی بْنِ حَبَّانَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي رَجُلَانِ مِنْ أَشْجَعَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ کَانَ يَأْتِيهِمْ مُصَدِّقًا فَيَقُولُ لِرَبِّ الْمَالِ أَخْرِجْ إِلَيَّ صَدَقَةَ مَالِکَ فَلَا يَقُودُ إِلَيْهِ شَاةً فِيهَا وَفَائٌ مِنْ حَقِّهِ إِلَّا قَبِلَهَا

محمد بن یحییٰ بن حبان سے روایت ہے کہ خبر دی مجھ کو دو شخصوں نے قبیلہ اشجع سے کہ محمد بن مسلمہ انصاری آتے تھے زکوٰۃ لینے کو تو کہتے تھے صاحب مال سے لاؤ میرے پاس زکوٰۃ اپنے مال کی پھر وہ جو بکری لے کر آتا اگر وہ زکوٰۃ کے لائق ہوتی تو قبول کرلیتے۔

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban said, "Two men from the Ashja tribe told me that Muhammad ibn Maslama al-Ansari used tocome to them to collect their zakat, and he would say to anyone who owned livestock, Select (the animal for) the zakat on your livestock and bring it to me, and he would accept any sheep that was brought to him provided it met the requirements of what the man owed." Malik said, "The sunna with us, and what I have seen the people of knowledge doing in our city, is that things are not made difficult for the muslims in their paying zakat, and whatever they offer of their livestock is accepted from them."

عَنْ عَطَائِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا تَحِلُّ الصَّدَقَةُ لِغَنِيٍّ إِلَّا لِخَمْسَةٍ لِغَازٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ لِعَامِلٍ عَلَيْهَا أَوْ لِغَارِمٍ أَوْ لِرَجُلٍ اشْتَرَاهَا بِمَالِهِ أَوْ لِرَجُلٍ لَهُ جَارٌ مِسْکِينٌ فَتُصُدِّقَ عَلَی الْمِسْکِينِ فَأَهْدَی الْمِسْکِينُ لِلْغَنِيِّ

عطاء بن یسار سے روایت ہے کہ رسول اللہ ﷺ نے فرمایا زکوٰۃ درست نہیں مالدار کی مگر پانچ آدمیوں کو درست ہے پہلے غازی جو جہاد کرتا ہو اللہ کی راہ میں دوسرے جو عامل ہو زکوٰۃ کا یعنی زکوٰۃ کو وصول اور تحصیل کرتا ہو تیسرے مدیون یعنی جو قرضدار ہو چوتھے جو زکوٰۃ کو خرید لے اپنے مال کے عوض میں پانچویں جو مسکین ہمسایہ کے پاس سے بطور ہدیہ کے آئے۔

Yahya related to me from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn Yasar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Zakat is not permissible for someone who is not in need except for five: someone fighting in the way of Allah, someone who collects zakat, someone who has suffered (financial) loss (at the hands of debtors), someone who buys it with his own money, and some one who has a poor neighbour who receives some zakat and gives some as a present to the one who is not in need." Malik said, "The position with us concerning the dividing up of zakat is that it is up to the individual judgement of the man in charge (wali). Whichever categories of people are in most need and are most numerous are given preference, according to how the man in charge sees fit. It is possible that that may change after one year, or two, or more, but it is always those who are in need and are most numerous that are given preference, whatever category they may belong to. This is what I have seen done by people of knowledge with which I am satisifed." Malik said, "There is no fixed share for the collector of the zakat, except according to what the imam sees fit."

حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَی عَنْ مَالِک أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا بَکْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ قَالَ لَوْ مَنَعُونِي عِقَالًا لَجَاهَدْتُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ

امام مالک سے روایت ہے کہ ابوبکر صدیق نے فرمایا کہ اگر نہ دیں گے رسی بھی اونٹ باندھنے کی تو میں جہاد کروں گا ان پر۔

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Abu Bakr (RA) as-Siddiq said, "If they withhold even a hobbling cord I will fight them over it."

عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ شَرِبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ لَبَنًا فَأَعْجَبَهُ فَسَأَلَ الَّذِي سَقَاهُ مِنْ أَيْنَ هَذَا اللَّبَنُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ وَرَدَ عَلَی مَائٍ قَدْ سَمَّاهُ فَإِذَا نَعَمٌ مِنْ نَعَمْ الصَّدَقَةِ وَهُمْ يَسْقُونَ فَحَلَبُوا لِي مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا فَجَعَلْتُهُ فِي سِقَائِي فَهُوَ هَذَا فَأَدْخَلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَدَهُ فَاسْتَقَائَهُ عَنْ مَالِك أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ عَامِلًا لِعُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ يَذْكُرُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مَنَعَ زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ أَنْ دَعْهُ وَلَا تَأْخُذْ مِنْهُ زَكَاةً مَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ فَاشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ وَأَدَّى بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ فَكَتَبَ عَامِلُ عُمَرَ إِلَيْهِ يَذْكُرُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ أَنْ خُذْهَا مِنْهُ

زید بن اسلم سے روایت ہے کہ حضرت عمربن خطاب نے دودھ پیا تو بھلا معلوم ہوا پوچھا کہ یہ دودھ کہاں سے آیا جو لایا تھا وہ بولا کہ میں ایک پانی پر گیا تھا اور اس کا نام بیان کیا وہاں پر جانور زکوٰۃ کے پانی پی رہے تھے لوگوں نے ان کا دودھ نچوڑ کر مجھے دیا میں نے اپنی مشک میں رکھ لیا وہ یہی دودھ تھا جو آپ نے پیا تو حضرت عمر نے اپنا ہاتھ منہ میں ڈال کر قے کی۔ امام مالک کو پہنچا کہ ایک عامل نے عمر بن عبدالعزیز کو لکھا کہ ایک شخص اپنے مال کی زکوٰۃ نہیں دیتا عمر نے جواب میں لکھا کہ چھوڑ دے اس کو اور مسلمانوں کے ساتھ اور زکوٰۃ نہ لیا کر اس سے۔ یہ خبر اس شخص کو پہنچی اس کو برا معلوم ہوا اور اپنے مال کی زکوٰۃ ادا کردی بعد اس کے عامل نے حضرت عمر کو اطلاع دی انہوں نے جواب میں لکھا کہ لے لے زکوٰۃ کو اس شخص سے۔

Yahya related to me from Malik that Zayd ibn Aslam said, Umar ibn al Khattab drank some milk which he liked (very much) and he asked the man who had given it to him, Where did this milk come from? The man told him that he had come to a watering-place, which he named, and had found grazing livestock from the zakat watering there. He was given some of their milk, which he then put into his water-skin, and that was the milk in question. Umar ibn al-Khattab then put his hand into his mouth to make himself vomit." Malik said, "The position with us is that if anyone refuses to honour one of the obligatory demands of Allah, and the muslims are unable to get it, then they have the right to fight him until they get itfrom him."

عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ وَعَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فِيمَا سَقَتْ السَّمَائُ وَالْعُيُونُ وَالْبَعْلُ الْعُشْرُ وَفِيمَا سُقِيَ بِالنَّضْحِ نِصْفُ الْعُشْرِ

سلیمان بن یسار اور بسر بن سعید سے روایت ہے کہ آپ ﷺ نے فرمایا کہ بارانی اور زیر چشمہ یا تالاب کی زمین میں اور اس کھجور میں جس کو پانی کی حاجت نہ ہو دسواں حصہ زکوٰۃ ہے اور جو زمین پانی سینچ کر ترکی جائے اس میں بیسواں حصہ زکوٰۃ کا ہے۔

Yahya related to me from Malik from a reliable source from Sulayman ibn Yasar and from Busr ibn Said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "On land that is watered by rain or springs or any natural means there is (zakat to pay of) a tenth. On irrigated land there is (zakat of) a twentieth (to pay)."

عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا يُؤْخَذُ فِي صَدَقَةِ النَّخْلِ الْجُعْرُورُ وَلَا مُصْرَانُ الْفَارَةِ وَلَا عَذْقُ ابْنِ حُبَيْقٍ قَالَ وَهُوَ يُعَدُّ عَلَی صَاحِبِ الْمَالِ وَلَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ فِي الصَّدَقَةِ

ابن شہاب زہری نے کہا کہ کھجور کی زکوٰۃ میں جعرور (ایک قسم کی خراب کھجور ہے جو سوکھنے سے کوڑا ہوجاتی ہے) اور مصران الفارہ اور عذق بن حبیق (یہ بھی ردی کھجوروں کی قسم ہیں) نہ لی جائیں گی اور مثال ان کی بکریوں کی سی ہے کہ صاحب مال کے مال کے شمار میں سب قسم کی شمار کی جائیں گی لیکن لی نہ جائیں گی۔

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ziyad ibn Sad that Ibn Shihab said, "Neither jurur, nor musran al-fara, nor adhq ibn hubayq should be taken as zakat from dates. They should be included in the assessment but not taken as zakat. " Malik said, "This is the same as with sheep and goats, whose young are included in the assessment but are not (actually) taken as zakat. There are also certain kinds of fruit which are not taken as zakat, such as burdi dates (one of the finest kinds of dates), and similar varieties. Neither the lowest quality (of any property) nor the highest should be taken. Rather, zakat should be taken from average quality property." Malik said, "The position that we are agreed upon concerning fruit is that only dates and grapes are estimated while on the tree. They are estimated when their usability is clear and they are halal to sell. This is because the fruit of date-palms and vines is eaten straightaway in the form of fresh dates and grapes, and so the assessment is done by estimation to make things easier for people and to avoid causing them trouble. Their produce is estimated and then they are given a free hand in using their produce as they wish, and later they pay the zakat on it according to the estimation that was made." Malik said, "crops which are not eaten fresh, such as grains and seeds, which are only eaten after they have been harvested, are not estimated. The owner, after he has harvested, threshed and sifted the crop, so that it is then in the form of grain or seed, has to fulfil his trust himself and deduct the zakat he owes if the amount is large enough for him to have to pay zakat. This is the position that we are all agreed upon here (in Madina)." Malik said, "The position that we are all agreed upon here (in Madina) is that the produce of date palms is estimated while it is still on the tree, after it has ripened and become halal to sell, and the zakat on it is deducted in the form of dried dates at the time of harvest. If the fruit is damaged after it has been estimated and the damage affects all the fruit then no zakat has to be paid. If some of the fruit remains unaffected, and this fruit amounts to five awsuq or more using the sa of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, then zakat is deducted from it. Zakat does not have to be paid, however, on the fruit that was damaged . Grapevines are dealt with in the same way. If a man owns various pieces of property in various places, or is a co-owner of various pieces of property in various places, none of which individually comes to a zakatable amount, but which, when added together, do come to a zakatable amount, then he adds them together and pays the zakat that is due on them ."

حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَی عَنْ مَالِک أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ عَنْ الزَّيْتُونِ فَقَالَ فِيهِ الْعُشْرُ

امام مالک نے پوچھا ابن شہاب سے کہ زیتون میں کیا واجب ہے بولے دسواں حصہ۔

Yahya related to me from Malik that he asked Ibn Shihab about olives and he said, "There is a tenth on them." Malik said, "The tenth that is taken from olives is taken after they have been pressed, and the olives must come to a minimum amount of five awsuq and there must be at least five awsuq of olives. If there are less than five awsuq of olives, no zakat has to be paid. Olive trees are like date palms insofar as there is a tenth on whatever is watered by rain or springs or any natural means, and a twentieth on whatever is irrigated. However, olives are not estimated while on the tree. The sunna with us as far as grain and seeds which people store and eat is concerned is that a tenth is taken from whatever has been watered by rain or springs or any natural means, and a twentieth from whatever has been irrigated, that is, as long as the amount comes to five awsuq or more using the aforementioned sa, that is, the sa of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Zakat must be paid on anything above five awsuq according to the amount involved." Malik said, "The kinds of grain and seeds on which there is zakat are: wheat, barley, sult (a kind of barley), sorghum, pearl millet, rice, lentils, peas, beans, sesame seeds and other such grains and seeds which are used for food. Zakat is taken from them after they have been harvested and are in the form of grai n or seed." He said, "People are entrusted with the assessment and whatever they hand over is accepted ." Malik was asked whether the tenth or the twentieth was taken out of olives before they were sold or after and he said, "The sale is not taken into consideration. It is the people who produce the olives that are asked about the olives, just as it is the people who produce foodstuffs that are asked about it, and zakat is taken from them by what they say. Someone who gets five awsuq or more of olives from his olive trees has a tenth taken from the oil after pressing. Whereas someone who does not get five awsuq from his trees does not have to pay any zakat on the oil." Malik said, "Someone who sells his crops when they are ripe and are ready in the husk has to pay zakat on them but the one who buys them does not. The sale of crops is not valid until they are ready in the husk and no longer need water." Malik said, concerning the word of Allah the Exalted, "And give its due on the day of its harvesting," that it referred to zakat, and that he had heard people saying that. Malik said, "If someone sells his garden or his land, on which are crops or fruit which have not yet ripened, then it is the buyer who has to pay the zakat. If, however, they have ripened, it is the seller who has to pay the zakat, unless paying the zakat is one of the conditions of the sale."

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَی الْمُسْلِمِ فِي عَبْدِهِ وَلَا فِي فَرَسِهِ صَدَقَةٌ

ابوہریرہ ؓ روایت ہے کہ رسول اللہ ﷺ نے فرمایا نہیں ہے مسلمان پر اپنے گھوڑے اور غلام کی زکوٰۃ۔

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Umar from Sulayman ibn Yasar from Irak ibn Malik from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A muslim does not have to pay any zakat on his slave or his horse."

عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الشَّامِ قَالُوا لِأَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الْجَرَّاحِ خُذْ مِنْ خَيْلِنَا وَرَقِيقِنَا صَدَقَةً فَأَبَی ثُمَّ کَتَبَ إِلَی عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَأَبَی عُمَرُ ثُمَّ کَلَّمُوهُ أَيْضًا فَکَتَبَ إِلَی عُمَرَ فَکَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ إِنْ أَحَبُّوا فَخُذْهَا مِنْهُمْ وَارْدُدْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ وَارْزُقْ رَقِيقَهُمْ قَالَ مَالِک مَعْنَی قَوْلِهِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ وَارْدُدْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ يَقُولُ عَلَی فُقَرَائِهِمْ

سلیمان بن یسار سے روایت ہے کہ شام کے لوگوں نے ابوعبیدہ بن جراح سے کہا کہ ہمارے گھوڑوں اور غلاموں کی زکوٰۃ لیا کرو انہوں نے انکار کیا اور حضرت عمر بن خطاب کو لکھ بھیجا حضرت عمر نے بھی انکار کیا پھر لوگوں نے دوبارہ ابوعبیدہ سے کہا انہوں نے حضرت عمر کو لکھا حضرت عمر نے جواب میں لکھا کہ اگر وہ لوگ ان چیزوں کی زکوٰۃ دینا چاہیں تو اسے ان سے لے کر انہی کے فقیروں کو دے دے اور ان کے غلاموں اور لونڈیوں کی خوراک میں صرف کر۔

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Sulayman ibn Yasar that the people of Syria said to Abu Ubayda ibn al-Jarrah, "Take zakat from our horses and slaves," and he refused. Then he wrote to Umar ibn al-Khattab and he (also) refused. Again they talked to him and again he wrote to Umar, and Umar wrote back to him saying, "If they want, take it from them and (then) give it back to them and give their slaves provision." Malik said, "What he means, may Allah have mercy upon him, by the words and give it back to them is, to their poor. "

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَکْرِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ جَائَ کِتَابٌ مِنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ إِلَی أَبِي وَهُوَ بِمِنًی أَنْ لَا يَأْخُذَ مِنْ الْعَسَلِ وَلَا مِنْ الْخَيْلِ صَدَقَةً

عبداللہ بن ابی حزم سے روایت ہے کہ عمر بن عبدالعزیز کا خط میرے باپ کے پاس آیا جب وہ منیٰ میں تھے کہ شہد اور گھوڑے کی زکوٰۃ کچھ نہ لے۔

Yahya related to me from Malik that Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibn Amr ibn Hazim said, "A message came from Umar ibn Abdul Aziz to my father when he was in Mina telling him not to take zakat from either honey or horses."

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ صَدَقَةِ الْبَرَاذِينِ فَقَالَ وَهَلْ فِي الْخَيْلِ مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ

عبداللہ بن دینار سے روایت ہے کہ پوچھا میں نے سعید بن مسیب سے کہ ترکی گھوڑوں میں زکوٰۃ کیا ہے انہوں نے جواب دیا کیا گھوڑوں میں بھی زکوٰۃ ہے۔

Yahya related to me from Malik that Abdullah ibn Dinar said, "I asked Said ibn al-Musayyab about zakat on work-horses, and he said, Is there any zakat on horses ? "

عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَذَ الْجِزْيَةَ مِنْ مَجُوسِ الْبَحْرَيْنِ وَأَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ أَخَذَهَا مِنْ مَجُوسِ فَارِسَ وَأَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ أَخَذَهَا مِنْ الْبَرْبَرِ

ابن شہاب سے روایت ہے کہ پہنچا مجھ کو کہ رسول اللہ ﷺ نے جزیہ لیا بحرین کے مجوس سے اور عمر بن خطاب نے جزیہ لیا فارس کے مجوس سے اور عثمان بن عفان نے جزیہ لیا بربر سے۔

Yahya related to me from Malik that Ibn Shihab said, "I have heard that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, took jizya from the magians of Bahrain, that Umar ibn al-Khattab took it from the magians of Persia and that Uthman ibn Affan took it from the Berbers."

عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ذَکَرَ الْمَجُوسَ فَقَالَ مَا أَدْرِي کَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فِي أَمْرِهِمْ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ أَشْهَدُ لَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ سُنُّوا بِهِمْ سُنَّةَ أَهْلِ الْکِتَابِ

امام محمد بن باقر سے روایت ہے کہ حضرت عمر بن خطاب نے ذکر کیا مجوس کا اور کہا کہ میں نہیں جانتا کیا کروں ان کے بارے میں تو کہا عبدالرحمن بن عوف نے گواہی دیتا ہوں میں کہ سنا میں نے رسول اللہ ﷺ سے فرماتے تھے آپ ﷺ ان سے وہ طریقہ برتو جو اہل کتاب سے برتتے ہو۔

Yahya related to me from Malik from Jafar ibn Muhammad ibn Ali from his father that Umar ibn al-Khattab mentioned the magians and said, "I do not know what to do about them." Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf said, "I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, Follow the same sunna with them that you follow with the people of the Book . "

عَنْ أَسْلَمَ مَوْلَی عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ضَرَبَ الْجِزْيَةَ عَلَی أَهْلِ الذَّهَبِ أَرْبَعَةَ دَنَانِيرَ وَعَلَی أَهْلِ الْوَرِقِ أَرْبَعِينَ دِرْهَمًا مَعَ ذَلِکَ أَرْزَاقُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَضِيَافَةُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ

اسلم جو مولیٰ ہیں عمر بن خطاب کے سے روایت ہے کہ عمر بن خطاب نے مقرر کیا جزیہ کو سونے والوں پر ہر سال میں چار دینار اور چاندی والوں پر ہر سال میں چالیس درہم اور ساتھ اس کے یہ بھی تھا کہ بھوکے مسلمانوں کو کھانا کھلائیں اور جو کوئی مسلمان ان کے یہاں آکر اترے تو اس کی تین روز کی ضیافت کریں۔

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Aslam, the mawla of Umar ibn al-Khattab, that Umar ibn al-Khattab imposed a jizya tax of four dinars on those living where gold was the currency, and forty dirhams on those living where silver was the currency. In addition, they had to provide for the muslims and receive them as guests for three days.

عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ إِنَّ فِي الظَّهْرِ نَاقَةً عَمْيَائَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ادْفَعْهَا إِلَی أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ يَنْتَفِعُونَ بِهَا قَالَ فَقُلْتُ وَهِيَ عَمْيَائُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَقْطُرُونَهَا بِالْإِبِلِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ کَيْفَ تَأْکُلُ مِنْ الْأَرْضِ قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَمِنْ نَعَمْ الْجِزْيَةِ هِيَ أَمْ مِنْ نَعَمْ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقُلْتُ بَلْ مِنْ نَعَمْ الْجِزْيَةِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَرَدْتُمْ وَاللَّهِ أَکْلَهَا فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ عَلَيْهَا وَسْمَ الْجِزْيَةِ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا عُمَرُ فَنُحِرَتْ وَکَانَ عِنْدَهُ صِحَافٌ تِسْعٌ فَلَا تَکُونُ فَاکِهَةٌ وَلَا طُرَيْفَةٌ إِلَّا جَعَلَ مِنْهَا فِي تِلْکَ الصِّحَافِ فَبَعَثَ بِهَا إِلَی أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَيَکُونُ الَّذِي يَبْعَثُ بِهِ إِلَی حَفْصَةَ ابْنَتِهِ مِنْ آخِرِ ذَلِکَ فَإِنْ کَانَ فِيهِ نُقْصَانٌ کَانَ فِي حَظِّ حَفْصَةَ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ فِي تِلْکَ الصِّحَافِ مِنْ لَحْمِ تِلْکَ الْجَزُورِ فَبَعَثَ بِهِ إِلَی أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَمَرَ بِمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ لَحْمِ تِلْکَ الْجَزُورِ فَصُنِعَ فَدَعَا عَلَيْهِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارَ عَنْ مَالِك أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ كَتَبَ إِلَى عُمَّالِهِ أَنْ يَضَعُوا الْجِزْيَةَ عَمَّنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجِزْيَةِ حِينَ يُسْلِمُونَ

اسلم بن عدوی سے روایت ہے کہ انہوں نے کہا حضرت عمر بن خطاب سے کہ شتر خانے میں ایک اندھی اونٹنی ہے تو فرمایا حضرت عمر نے وہ اونٹنی کسی گھروالوں کو دے دے تاکہ وہ اس سے نفع اٹھائیں میں نے کہا وہ اندھی ہے حضرت عمر نے کہا اس کو اونٹوں کی قطار میں باندھ دیں گے میں نے کہا وہ چارہ کیسے کھائے گی حضرت عمر نے کہا وہ جزیے کے جانوروں میں سے ہے یا صدقہ کے میں نے کہا وہ جزیے کے حضرت عمر نے کہا واللہ تم لوگوں نے اس کے کھانے کا ارادہ کیا ہے میں نے کہا نہیں اس پر نشانی جزیہ کی موجود ہے تو حکم کیا حضرت عمر نے اور وہ نحر کی گئی اور حضرت عمر کے پاس نو پیالے تھے جو میوہ یا اچھی چیز آتی آپ ان میں رکھ کر آپ ﷺ کی بیبیوں کو بھیجا کرتے اور سب سے آخر میں اپنی بیٹی حفصہ کے پاس بھیجتے اگر وہ چیز کم ہوتی تو کمی حفصہ کے حصے میں ہوتی تو پہلے آپ نے گوشت کو پیالوں میں ڈال کر آپ ﷺ کی بیبیوں کو روانہ کیا بعد اس کے پکانے کا حکم کیا اور سب مہاجرین اور انصار کی دعوت کردی۔ امام مالک کو پہنچا کہ عمر بن عبدالعزیز نے لکھ بھیجا اپنے عاملوں کو جو لوگ جزیہ والوں میں سے مسلمان ہوں ان کا جزیہ معاف کریں۔

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from his father that he said to Umar ibn al-Khattab, "There is a blind she-camel behind the house, soUmar said, "Hand it over to a household so that they can make (some) use of it." He said, "But she is blind." Umar replied, "Then put it in a line with other camels." He said, "How will it be able to eat from the ground?" Umar asked, "Is it from the livestock of the jizya or the zakat?" and Aslam replied, "From the livestock of the jizya." Umar said, "By AIIah, you wish to eat it." Aslam said, "It has the brand of the jizya on it." So Umar ordered it to be slaughtered. He had nine platters, and on each of the platters he put some of every fruit and delicacy that there was and then sent them to the wives of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and the one he sent to his daughter Hafsa was the last of them all, and if there was any deficiency in any of them it was in Hafsas portion. "He put meat from the slaughtered animal on the platters and sent them to the wives of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he ordered what was left of the meat of the slaughtered animal to be prepared. Then he invited the Muhajirun and the Ansar to eat it." Malik said, "I do not think that livestock should be taken from people who pay the jizya except as jizya."

عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ کَانَ يَأْخُذُ مِنْ النَّبَطِ مِنْ الْحِنْطَةِ وَالزَّيْتِ نِصْفَ الْعُشْرِ يُرِيدُ بِذَلِکَ أَنْ يَکْثُرَ الْحَمْلُ إِلَی الْمَدِينَةِ وَيَأْخُذُ مِنْ الْقِطْنِيَّةِ الْعُشْرَ

عبداللہ بن عمر ؓ سے روایت ہے کہ حضرت عمر بن خطاب نبط کے کافروں سے گیہوں اور تیل کا بیسواں حصہ لیتے تھے تاکہ مدینہ میں اس کی آمدنی زیادہ ہو اور قطنیہ سے دسواں حصہ لیتے تھے۔

Yahya related to me from Ibn Shihab from Salim ibn Abdullah from his father that Umar ibn al-Khattab used to take a twentieth from the cereals and olive oil of the Nabatean christians, intending by that to increase the cargo to Madina. He would take a tenth from pulses.
