0:10 The Abridged Sahih al-Bukhari

0:16 Chapter: Regarding one who gave charity during the state of shirk (polytheism) then embraced Islam

0:21 From Hakim Ibn Hizam, may Allah be pleased with him,

0:25 that he had freed one hundred slaves during the Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic period),

0:28 and provided one hundred camels [for the sake of Allah].

0:31 When he embraced Islam,

0:33 he provided one hundred camels,

0:35 and freed one hundred slaves.

0:37 He said:

0:38 I asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

0:42 and said:

0:43 "O Messenger of Allah,

0:45 what do you think of things I used to do during the Jahiliyyah?

0:49 I used to perform acts of devotion through them,"

0:51 meaning, I used to seek righteousness through them,

0:55 in one narration:

0:56 "such as charity, manumission, or maintaining family ties.

1:00 Is there any reward for them?"

1:02 He said:

1:03 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, replied:

1:07 "You have embraced Islam along with the good deeds you previously performed."

1:11 Commentary on the hadith:

1:15 "Provided one hundred camels,"

1:17 meaning, for Hajj.

1:19 "What do you think,"

1:20 meaning, inform me.

1:22 "I used to do during the Jahiliyyah,"

1:24 meaning, I performed them before I embraced Islam.

1:27 "I used to perform acts of devotion through them,"

1:30 meaning, I used to seek closeness [to Allah].

1:32 "I used to seek righteousness through them,"

1:34 meaning, I performed them as acts of piety and obedience.

1:36 "Along with what you previously performed,"

1:38 meaning, along with the credit for the good deeds you previously performed.

1:42 Benefits of the hadith:

1:46 It is derived from the hadith

1:48 that when one’s Islam is sincere,

1:50 it wipes away the sins that preceded it,

1:53 and preserves the good deeds that preceded it.

1:56 It also indicates that virtues may be innate and natural.

2:02 Chapter: The reward of the servant

2:04 if he gives charity by the command of his master without causing corruption.

2:08 From Abu Musa,

2:11 from the Prophet, peace be upon him, who said:

2:15 "The trustworthy Muslim treasurer

2:18 who executes [the order],"

2:20 in one narration:

2:21 "who performs,"

2:22 and in one narration:

2:24 "who spends,"

2:26 and perhaps he said "gives,"

2:28 "what he was ordered to do, fully and completely,

2:31 with a willing heart,

2:33 and delivers it to the one for whom it was intended,

2:37 is one of the two who give charity."

2:39 Commentary on the hadith:

2:44 "The treasurer,"

2:45 meaning, the one who is in charge of safeguarding provisions, whether a servant or otherwise.

2:50 "Who executes,"

2:52 meaning, carries out and gives.

2:54 "What he was ordered to do,"

2:56 of charities.

2:57 "Fully and completely,"

2:59 meaning, in full, without any reduction.

3:02 "With a willing heart,"

3:04 meaning, his soul is pleased with that.

3:07 "And delivers it to the one for whom it was intended,"

3:10 meaning, he gives it to the needy person designated by the owner of the wealth.

3:15 "Is one of the two who give charity,"

3:18 meaning, he receives the reward of the one who gives charity.

3:21 Benefits of the hadith:

3:24 It is derived from the hadith

3:27 that agency (wakalah) in charity is permissible.

3:29 It also indicates the obligation to adhere to the conditions of the agency.

3:33 It also shows that whoever is entrusted with charity

3:36 receives a reward like that of the owner of the charity.

3:39 It also encourages giving charity with a willing heart.

3:43 It also warns against diminishing the charity.

3:47 Chapter: The saying of Allah the Exalted:

3:52 ﴾As for he who gives and fears Allah and believes in the best [reward], We will ease him toward ease. But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need and denies the best [reward], We will ease him toward difficulty.﴿

4:01 [Continued from above]

4:06 [Continued from above]

4:09 From Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him,

4:12 that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:

4:16 "There is no day in which the servants wake up

4:20 but two angels descend,

4:23 and one of them says:

4:25 'O Allah, grant the spender a replacement,'

4:29 and the other says:

4:31 'O Allah, grant the miser a loss.'"

4:36 Commentary on the hadith:

4:39 "Grant the spender a replacement,"

4:41 meaning, grant the one who gives charity a compensation.

4:44 "Grant the miser a loss,"

4:47 meaning, cause the wealth of the miser—who withholds from both obligatory and recommended charity—to perish.

4:52 Benefits of the hadith:

4:56 The hadith indicates that the miser deserves the loss of his wealth.

5:00 This refers to withholding from obligatory duties, not recommended ones.

5:05 It also encourages spending on obligatory duties.

5:08 This includes both voluntary and obligatory charity.

5:12 It also clarifies that the supplication of the angels is answered.

5:16 Chapter: The parable of the one who gives charity and the miser.

5:22 From Abu Hurayrah, who said:

5:25 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, struck

5:29 a parable of the miser and the one who gives charity:

5:32 "Like two men wearing two coats of iron,

5:36 in one narration: two shields,

5:39 which have constrained their hands to their chests and collarbones.

5:45 Whenever the one who gives charity gives a charity,

5:49 it expands for him,"

5:51 in one narration: "it stretches or covers his skin,"

5:56 in one narration: "it extends over his skin,"

6:00 in one narration: "it widens for him,"

6:04 "until it covers his fingertips and erases his tracks,"

6:08 in one narration: "until it hides his fingertips,"

6:12 in one narration: "until it covers his fingertips."

6:16 "And whenever the miser intends to give charity,

6:20 it shrinks,"

6:22 in one narration:

6:23 "every ring contracts to its neighbor and shrinks upon him,

6:28 and his hands are joined to his collarbones,

6:32 and it takes hold,"

6:33 in one narration:

6:35 "every ring sticks to its place."

6:39 Abu Hurayrah said:

6:41 "I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

6:45 gesturing with his finger like this in his collar,"

6:49 "and I saw him trying to widen it, but it would not widen."

6:54 Commentary on the hadith:

6:57 "Two coats,"

6:59 a coat is a wide garment.

7:01 "Constrained,"

7:03 meaning, forced.

7:04 "Their collarbones,"

7:06 the two collarbones,

7:08 which are the two prominent bones at the top of the chest,

7:11 from the top of the shoulders to the base of the throat.

7:15 "It expands,"

7:17 meaning, it widens.

7:19 "Covers his fingertips,"

7:21 meaning, it conceals his fingers.

7:23 "Erases his tracks,"

7:25 meaning, it wipes away the trace of his walking due to its fullness and completeness.

7:30 "Intends,"

7:31 meaning, desires and resolves.

7:33 "Shrinks,"

7:34 meaning, it contracts and joins together.

7:37 "Two shields,"

7:38 a shield is armor.

7:41 "Stretches,"

7:43 meaning, it extends and covers.

7:45 "Covers,"

7:46 meaning, it completes.

7:48 "Extends,"

7:49 meaning, it stretches.

7:51 "Fingertips,"

7:52 meaning, his fingers.

7:54 "Until it covers,"

7:55 meaning, it conceals.

7:57 "Sticks,"

7:58 meaning, it adheres.

8:00 "In his collar,"

8:02 the collar

8:03 is the opening at the top of the shirt.

8:06 Benefits of the hadith:

8:10 The hadith shows that teaching by example

8:13 is more effective in the soul for visualizing issues.

8:16 The hadith shows that when the generous person intends to spend,

8:20 his chest expands for it,

8:22 and his hands obey, stretching out with the gift.

8:26 As for the miser,

8:27 his chest constricts,

8:29 and his hand recoils from spending.

8:32 It shows that Allah covers the spender with his spending.

8:37 It shows that charities expiate sins and wipe them away.

8:41 It shows that charity is a growth for wealth.

8:47 Chapter:

8:48 "Every Muslim must give charity."

8:51 Whoever does not find [anything to give],

8:53 let him do good.

8:56 From Abu Musa al-Ash'ari, who said:

8:59 The Prophet, peace be upon him, said:

9:02 "Every Muslim must give charity."

9:05 They asked:

9:06 "And if he does not find [anything]?"

9:08 He said:

9:09 "Let him work with his hands,

9:11 so he may benefit himself and give charity."

9:15 They asked:

9:16 "And if he cannot, or does not do so?"

9:19 He said:

9:20 "Let him help the needy and the distressed."

9:23 They asked:

9:24 If he does not do so,

9:26 he said,

9:27 "Then let him enjoin good,"

9:29 or he said,

9:30 "what is virtuous."

9:32 They asked,

9:33 "And if he does not do so?"

9:35 He said,

9:36 "Then let him refrain from evil,"

9:38 "for that is a charity for him."

9:45 "And if he does not find [the means]?"

9:47 Meaning, whoever is unable to give charity,

9:50 "then let him assist the needy,"

9:52 meaning, let him help the one in need,

9:54 the distressed.

9:56 The term "distressed" applies to the sorrowful, the desperate, and the oppressed.

10:01 "Then let him refrain from evil,"

10:03 meaning, let him not commit it.

10:05 "For that is for him,"

10:06 meaning, for the one who refrains.

10:09 From the benefits of the hadith:

10:12 It is derived from the hadith that

10:14 compassion for the creation of Allah is essential.

10:19 This is expressed either through wealth or otherwise.

10:22 The hadith broadens the concept of charity

10:25 to include conveying goodness to others by all means.

10:29 The hadith encourages fulfilling needs and performing virtuous deeds.

10:35 It establishes the legitimacy of enjoining good and forbidding evil.

10:39 It highlights the virtue of remaining silent about what is of no benefit.

10:44 It highlights the virtue of earning a living due to the far-reaching benefit it provides.

10:49 The hadith points to the virtue of learning a trade.

10:56 Chapter:

10:57 The amount to be given in zakat and charity.

11:00 Regarding one who gives a sheep.

11:03 On the authority of Umm 'Atiyyah al-Ansariyyah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said:

11:08 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, entered upon 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her,

11:15 and asked, "Do you have anything?"

11:18 She replied, "No,

11:20 except for something that Nusaybah sent to us

11:23 from the sheep that was sent as charity."

11:27 He said, in one narration,

11:30 "Bring it, for it has reached its destination."

11:38 "Do you have anything?"

11:40 Meaning, of food.

11:42 "She is the Ansariyyah," may Allah be pleased with her.

11:46 "It," meaning the sheep given as charity,

11:50 "has reached its destination,"

11:52 meaning, the intended purpose of the reward for charity has been achieved.

11:56 It then became the property of the one to whom it reached.

12:00 From the benefits of the hadith:

12:04 It is derived from the hadith that

12:06 once the recipient of charity takes possession of it and owns it,

12:10 it is permissible for them to dispose of it,

12:12 through sale, gifting, and the like.

12:15 It shows the legitimacy of a man asking his family

12:18 about the food presented to him,

12:21 and their clarification regarding its source.

12:23 Chapter: Substitutions in Zakat.

12:28 On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him,

12:30 that Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him,

12:33 wrote for him what Allah commanded His Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him:

12:38 "Whoever is liable for a bint makhad (a one-year-old female camel) as charity,

12:41 and does not have one,

12:43 but has a bint labun (a two-year-old female camel),

12:45 it shall be accepted from him,

12:47 and the zakat collector shall give him twenty dirhams or two sheep."

12:52 "If he does not have a bint makhad of the proper age,

12:56 but has an ibn labun (a two-year-old male camel),

12:58 it shall be accepted from him,

13:00 and nothing else is required of him."

13:02 Commentary on the hadith:

13:06 "Wrote for him,"

13:09 meaning, he wrote down the obligatory zakat.

13:11 "Bint makhad"

13:13 is one that has entered its second year.

13:16 "Bint labun"

13:18 is one that has entered its third year.

13:21 "It shall be accepted from him,"

13:22 meaning, the bint labun.

13:24 "The collector,"

13:26 meaning, the one who collects the zakat.

13:28 "Of the proper age,"

13:30 meaning, the proper form of the obligatory zakat without transgression.

13:34 From the benefits of the hadith:

13:37 It is derived from the hadith that

13:40 if someone is obligated to give a specific age of animal but does not possess it,

13:44 the collector takes a higher-valued one,

13:47 and returns the difference,

13:49 or takes a lower-valued one and takes the difference.

13:52 The hadith clarifies the ages of camels and their relative values.

13:56 It points to the possibility of paying the value of zakat.

14:00 It shows the permissibility of writing down hadiths.

14:06 Chapter:

14:07 Do not combine separate properties,

14:09 and do not separate combined properties.

14:12 On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him,

14:15 that Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him,

14:18 wrote for him what the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, ordained:

14:23 "Do not combine separate properties,

14:26 and do not separate combined properties

14:29 out of fear of the charity [zakat]."

14:31 Commentary on the hadith:

14:35 "Do not combine separate properties."

14:37 An example:

14:40 Each of two people has forty sheep.

14:43 When the collector comes to them,

14:45 they combine them to pay only one sheep [instead of two].

14:48 "Do not separate combined properties."

14:50 An example:

14:55 They have three sheep due [collectively].

14:57 They separate them to pay only two sheep [or none, depending on the threshold].

15:01 "Out of fear of the charity,"

15:03 meaning, out of apprehension,

15:05 so they use a ruse to avoid paying it.

15:07 From the benefits of the hadith:

15:11 It is derived from the hadith that

15:13 it is permissible to write down hadiths.

15:15 It contains a prohibition against using ruses

15:18 to evade what is obligatory upon one.

15:23 Chapter:

15:24 "Whatever is held by two partners,

15:26 they shall settle between themselves equitably."

15:30 On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him,

15:34 that Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him,

15:37 wrote for him what the Messenger of Allah,

15:39 peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, ordained:

15:42 "Whatever is held by two partners,

15:44 they shall settle between themselves equitably."

15:48 Commentary on the hadith:

15:52 "By two partners,"

15:54 the partners

15:55 are two associates whose wealth has been mixed

15:58 and cannot be distinguished.

16:00 "They shall settle between themselves equitably,"

16:03 meaning, if the collector takes

16:05 the entire obligation from the wealth of one of them,

16:08 he may claim his share from his partner.

16:12 From the benefits of the hadith:

16:16 It is derived from the hadith that

16:18 it is permissible to write down hadiths.

16:20 It shows the legitimacy of partnership and joint ownership.

16:24 The hadith indicates that the zakat on wealth deposited in banks

16:29 is taken from the bank,

16:31 and the bank recovers it from the depositors equitably,

16:34 meaning, according to the amount of their wealth.

16:36 Chapter: Zakat on Camels.

16:40 On the authority of Abu Sa'id, who said:

16:44 A Bedouin came to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

16:48 and asked him about migration.

16:50 He said,

16:52 "Woe to you!

16:53 Migration is a serious matter.

16:56 Do you have camels?"

16:58 He said, "Yes."

17:00 He said,

17:01 "Do you pay their zakat?"

17:03 He said, "Yes."

17:05 He said,

17:06 "Do you grant some of them [as a loan]?"

17:09 He said, "Yes."

17:11 He said,

17:12 "Do you milk them on the day they come to water?"

17:15 He said, "Yes."

17:17 He said,

17:18 "Then work from beyond the seas,

17:20 for Allah will not leave any of your deeds unrewarded."

17:25 Commentary on the hadith:

17:29 "Woe to you,"

17:30 a phrase said to someone who has fallen into a peril they do not deserve.

17:35 "Its matter,"

17:36 meaning, its affair.

17:38 "Their charity,"

17:39 meaning, their zakat.

17:41 "Grant some of them,"

17:43 the "minihah" (grant)

17:44 is a sheep given to a needy person to milk and then return.

17:49 "The day they come to water,"

17:51 meaning, at the watering hole.

17:53 "Then work from beyond the seas,"

17:55 meaning, if you are fulfilling the obligation Allah placed upon you,

17:58 do not worry about staying in your home and not migrating,

18:03 even if your home is beyond the seas.

18:06 "Will not leave,"

18:08 meaning, will not diminish any of your reward.

18:11 From the benefits of the hadith:

18:15 The hadith indicates that there is a right in wealth other than zakat.

18:20 It shows that whoever fulfills the obligatory and recommended rights of wealth

18:25 has cleared their responsibility.

18:27 It highlights the virtue of granting the use of sheep, camels, and cattle.

18:32 Chapter: Whoever is liable for a bint makhad as charity and does not have one.

18:39 On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him,

18:43 that Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, wrote for him the obligatory charity that Allah commanded His Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him:

18:52 "Whoever is liable for a jadha'ah (four-year-old camel) as charity,

18:56 and does not have a jadha'ah,

18:58 but has a hiqqah (three-year-old camel),

19:01 the hiqqah shall be accepted from him,

19:04 and he shall add two sheep if possible, or twenty dirhams."

19:10 "Whoever is liable for a hiqqah as charity,

19:13 And he does not possess the *hiqqah* (a three-year-old camel).

19:15 And he possesses the *jadha'ah* (a four-year-old camel).

19:17 Then it is accepted from him as the *jadha'ah*.

19:20 And the zakat collector gives him twenty dirhams or two sheep.

19:25 And whoever reaches the threshold where the *hiqqah* is due.

19:28 And he possesses nothing but a *bint labun* (a two-year-old female camel).

19:31 Then it is accepted from him as the *bint labun*.

19:34 And he gives two sheep or twenty dirhams.

19:38 And whoever reaches the threshold where the *bint labun* is due and he possesses a *hiqqah*.

19:43 Then it is accepted from him as the *hiqqah*.

19:46 And the zakat collector gives him twenty dirhams or two sheep.

19:50 And whoever reaches the threshold where the *bint labun* is due and he does not possess it.

19:55 And he possesses a *bint makhad* (a one-year-old female camel).

19:57 Then it is accepted from him as the *bint makhad*.

20:00 And he gives with it twenty dirhams or two sheep.

20:05 Commentary on the hadith.

20:09 The *jadha'ah*.

20:10 The *jadha'ah* among camels is one that has entered its fifth year.

20:15 The *hiqqah*.

20:17 The *hiqqah* among camels is one that has entered its fourth year.

20:21 Then it is accepted from him.

20:23 Meaning, it is taken from him in place of the mandatory age-group.

20:27 And the zakat collector gives him.

20:29 Meaning, the agent who collects the zakat.

20:32 From the benefits of the hadith.

20:36 It is derived from the hadith.

20:39 The permissibility of writing down the hadith.

20:42 And it contains the acceptance of a solitary report (*khabar al-wahid*) as a basis for mandatory action.

20:46 And the hadith contains a demonstration of the ruler's concern for the affairs of zakat and charity.

20:51 And his undertaking to appoint those who collect the zakat.

20:55 And the hadith contains an indication of facilitation in the collection of mandatory zakat.

21:00 So the collector accepts whatever age-group is available.

21:04 And the hadith is a foundational text for those who argue for the permissibility of valuing zakat.

21:08 And the hadith indicates that the values of camel age-groups vary.

21:13 And that the difference between one age-group and the one following it.

21:16 Is equivalent to twenty dirhams.

21:18 And this value differs according to times and circumstances.

21:23 And it contains the permissibility of taking a younger or older age-group for camel zakat.

21:28 While taking the value into account.

21:30 Chapter: Zakat on Sheep.

21:34 On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him.

21:38 That Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, wrote this document for him when he sent him to Bahrain.

21:45 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

21:48 This is the mandatory charity that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, obligated upon the Muslims.

21:55 And which Allah commanded His Messenger.

21:58 So whoever among the Muslims is asked for it in the proper manner, let him give it.

22:03 And whoever is asked for more than that, let him not give.

22:07 For twenty-four camels or fewer.

22:11 The zakat is one sheep for every five.

22:14 If they reach twenty-five to thirty-five.

22:18 Then the zakat is a *bint makhad* (female).

22:21 If they reach thirty-six to forty-five.

22:26 Then the zakat is a *bint labun* (female).

22:29 If they reach forty-six to sixty.

22:33 Then the zakat is a *hiqqah* ready for the stallion.

22:36 If they reach sixty-one to seventy-five.

22:41 Then the zakat is a *jadha'ah*.

22:43 If they reach, meaning seventy-six to ninety.

22:48 Then the zakat is two *bint labun*.

22:51 If they reach ninety-one to one hundred and twenty.

22:55 Then the zakat is two *hiqqah* ready for the stallion.

22:59 If they exceed one hundred and twenty.

23:03 Then for every forty, a *bint labun*.

23:06 And for every fifty, a *hiqqah*.

23:09 And whoever possesses only four camels.

23:12 There is no zakat on them.

23:14 Unless their owner wishes otherwise.

23:17 If they reach five camels.

23:20 Then the zakat is one sheep.

23:22 And regarding the zakat on sheep, for those that graze on pasture (*sa'imah*).

23:25 If there are forty to one hundred and twenty sheep.

23:30 If they exceed one hundred and twenty up to two hundred, two sheep.

23:35 If they exceed two hundred up to three hundred.

23:39 Then the zakat is three sheep.

23:42 If they exceed three hundred.

23:45 Then for every hundred, one sheep.

23:47 If a man's grazing sheep are one less than forty.

23:53 There is no zakat on them.

23:55 Unless their owner wishes otherwise.

23:58 And on silver (*riqqa*), a quarter of a tenth.
