Allah be pleased with him, and those with him, 586 00:27:58,799 --> 00:28:02,799 valued the sa‘ of dates and barley by what is equivalent to it in wheat. 587 00:28:02,799 --> 00:28:06,029 "Of wheat," meaning of grain. 588 00:28:06,029 --> 00:28:09,160 "When dates became scarce for the people of Medina," 589 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,160 meaning they were in need of dates and could not find them. 590 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,250 "He gave it to those who accepted it," 591 00:28:15,250 --> 00:28:19,250 meaning he gave it to those appointed by the Imam to collect zakat. 592 00:28:19,250 --> 00:28:24,250 It is also said he gave it to those who said, "I am poor." 593 00:28:24,250 --> 00:28:29,279 "They used to give," meaning the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them. 594 00:28:29,279 --> 00:28:33,559 From the benefits of the hadith: 595 00:28:33,559 --> 00:28:37,559 The hadith indicates the legitimacy of assessing the value of zakat. 596 00:28:37,559 --> 00:28:40,559 This was the practice of Mu'awiyah, may Allah be pleased with him. 597 00:28:40,559 --> 00:28:45,559 It also establishes the permissibility of paying sadaqat al-fitr a day or two in advance. 598 00:28:45,559 --> 00:28:49,559 It further demonstrates that hardship and necessity bring about ease. 599 00:28:49,559 --> 00:28:56,559 It shows that the statements of the Tabi'un were often based upon the actions of the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them. 600 00:28:56,559 --> 00:29:01,599 The hadith also implies that whoever declares themselves to be in need may accept zakat. 601 00:29:01,599 --> 00:29:05,599 They are to be given it without being questioned about the reality of their poverty.
