0:16
The Book of Zakat
0:19
The Book of Zakat is mentioned after the Book of Prayer
0:23
Because zakat is the third pillar of faith
0:27
And follows prayer in the Qur'an and the Sunnah
0:30
Chapter: The Obligation of Zakat
0:35
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:
0:39
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said
0:42
To Mu'adh Ibn Jabal when he sent him to Yemen:
0:46
"You are going to a people who are People of the Scripture.
0:50
When you arrive among them,
0:51
Invite them to testify
0:53
That there is no god but Allah
0:56
And that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
0:59
If they obey you in that,
1:02
In one narration:
1:03
'Let the first thing you invite them to be the worship of Allah.'
1:08
Once they have come to know Allah,
1:10
And in another narration:
1:12
'Let the first thing you invite them to be the unification of Allah the Exalted.'
1:17
Then inform them that Allah has obligated upon them
1:20
Five prayers every day and night.
1:24
If they obey you in that,
1:27
Then inform them that Allah has obligated upon them a charity (sadaqah)
1:32
In one narration:
1:33
Zakat
1:34
To be taken from their wealthy
1:36
And returned to their poor.
1:39
If they obey you in that,
1:42
Beware of taking the best of their wealth.
1:46
In one narration:
1:47
'Take from them, and beware,'
1:50
And fear the supplication of the oppressed,
1:53
For there is no veil between it and Allah."
1:58
Commentary on the hadith:
2:01
"If they obey you in that"
2:03
Meaning, by embracing the two testimonies of faith.
2:06
"Has obligated upon them"
2:08
Meaning, a binding obligation.
2:10
"Charity"
2:12
Meaning, the obligatory zakat.
2:14
"Beware"
2:15
Meaning, be cautious and avoid.
2:18
"The best of their wealth"
2:20
Meaning, the precious part of their wealth.
2:22
It has also been said:
2:23
That which the owner reserves for himself and prefers.
2:27
"There is no veil between it and Allah"
2:30
From the benefits of the hadith:
2:33
The hadith indicates the acceptance of a report from a single narrator
2:37
And the obligation to act upon it.
2:40
The hadith shows that the most important and primary thing people should be invited to is Tawhid (the oneness of Allah).
2:45
It shows that the deed of anyone who has not realized Tawhid is not accepted.
2:51
The hadith points to the two conditions for the acceptance of righteous deeds:
2:56
Sincerity and following the Sunnah.
2:59
These are the requirements of the two testimonies of faith.
3:01
The hadith confirms that the five prayers are obligatory every day and night.
3:07
Some have used this hadith to argue against the permissibility of transferring zakat away from the land where the wealth is located.
3:13
There is a difference of opinion regarding this.
3:15
The hadith indicates that one of the conditions of zakat is the wealth of the owner.
3:19
It provides evidence that the leader should send collectors to the owners of wealth to gather the charity.
3:26
On the authority of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him):
3:32
That a man said:
3:34
"O Messenger of Allah,
3:36
Inform me of a deed that will enter me into Paradise."
3:40
The people said:
3:41
"What is wrong with him? What is wrong with him?"
3:43
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
3:47
"He has a need."
3:49
The Prophet (peace be upon him) then said:
3:53
"Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him,
3:56
Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him,
4:00
Establish prayer,
4:02
Give zakat,
4:03
And uphold ties of kinship.
4:05
Let it go."
4:07
He said:
4:08
As if he were on his mount.
4:12
Commentary on the hadith:
4:15
"What is wrong with him?"
4:17
Used for questioning.
4:18
The repetition is for emphasis.
4:20
It is also said:

It is also said: "He is a person with a need."
4:32

4:33
Meaning, affirm His oneness.
4:35

4:43
Meaning, leave it and let it be.

That a Bedouin came to the Prophet (peace be upon him)
5:22
And said:
5:23
"Guide me to a deed that, if I perform it, I will enter Paradise."
5:28
He said:
5:29
"Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him,
5:32
Establish the prescribed prayer,
5:35
Pay the obligatory zakat,
5:37
And fast Ramadan."
5:40
He said:
5:41
"By Him in whose hand is my soul, I will not add anything to this."
5:45
When he turned away,
5:47
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
5:50

5:54
Let him look at this man."

6:50

6:56
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, who said:
6:58
When the Prophet (peace be upon him) passed away
7:02
And Abu Bakr was made successor,
7:04
And those who disbelieved among the Arabs disbelieved,
7:06
'Umar said:
7:08
"O Abu Bakr,
7:09
How can you fight the people
7:11
When the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
7:15
'I have been commanded to fight the people until they say: There is no god but Allah.
7:22
Whoever says: There is no god but Allah,
7:25
Has protected his wealth and his life from me,
7:28
Except by its right,
7:30
And his reckoning is with Allah'?"
7:32
Abu Bakr said:
7:34
"By Allah, I will fight those who differentiate between prayer and zakat,
7:39
For zakat is the right of wealth.
7:42
By Allah, if they refused me a young she-goat that they used to pay to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him),
7:49
In one narration:
7:51
'If they refused me a hobbling rope,'
7:53
I would fight them for withholding it."
7:56
'Umar said:
7:58
"By Allah, it was nothing but that I saw that Allah had opened the heart of Abu Bakr to fighting,
8:04
So I knew it was the truth."
8:08
Commentary on the hadith:

8:19

8:20
That which Islam has made obligatory.
8:23
"And his reckoning is with Allah"
8:25
Meaning, the matter of his inner state is for Him, Glory be to Him and Exalted.
8:29
As for us, we judge by the outward appearance.
8:33
"Those who differentiate between prayer and zakat"
8:35
Meaning, in terms of obligation,
8:37
And that they are both part of the religion.

And its rightness became clear to him,
8:58
He followed him in the fighting.
9:00
"Hobbling rope"
9:02
The 'iqal
9:03
Is the rope with which the foreleg of a camel is tied.
9:07
From the benefits of the hadith:
9:11
One learns from the hadith
9:13
The requirement of uttering the two testimonies of faith
9:16
To enter Islam.
9:18
It shows that judgment is based on the outward appearance.
9:21
Whoever manifests Islam and performs the pillars, one refrains from harming him.
9:25
It shows that if something is issued from a Muslim
9:28
That requires the ruling of Islam to hold him accountable,
9:31
Such as retribution (qisas) or a prescribed punishment (hadd),
9:33
Or compensation for damaged property or the like,
9:36
He is held accountable for it.
9:38
The hadith clarifies the virtue of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him)
9:42
And the sharpness of his understanding.
9:43
The hadith indicates the legitimacy of analogy (qiyas).
9:47

9:55

Chapter: The Sin of Withholding Zakat.
10:08
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
10:11
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
10:15
"The camels will come to their owner in the best state they ever were,
10:19
if he did not pay their due right,
10:22
trampling him with their hooves.
10:25
And the sheep will come to their owner in the best state they ever were,
10:29
if he did not pay their due right,
10:32
trampling him with their hooves,
10:34
and goring him with their horns."
10:37
In one narration:
10:39
"If the owner of the livestock does not pay their due right,
10:42
they will be set upon him on the Day of Resurrection,
10:45
and they will trample his face with their hooves."
10:49
And he said:
10:50
"And part of their right is that they be milked at the water source."
10:54
He said:
10:55
In one narration:
10:56
The Prophet (peace be upon him) stood among us,
11:00
and mentioned the misappropriation of war booty (ghulul),
11:02
emphasizing its gravity and the seriousness of the matter.
11:05
"Let not one of you come on the Day of Resurrection with a sheep,
11:08
carrying it on his neck, while it bleats."
11:12
In one narration:
11:13
"A loud bleating."
11:15
It will say:
11:16
"O Muhammad!"
11:18
And I will say:
11:19
"I possess nothing for you;
11:21
I have already conveyed the message."
11:23
In one narration:
11:25
"Carrying on his neck a horse that neighs."
11:28
It says:
11:29
"O Messenger of Allah, help me!"
11:32
And I will say:
11:33
"I possess nothing for you;
11:36
I have already conveyed the message to you."
11:38
"And let not one come with a camel carrying it on his neck, while it bellows."
11:43
It will say:
11:45
"O Muhammad!"
11:46
And I will say:
11:47
"I possess nothing for you from Allah;
11:51
I have already conveyed the message."
11:53
In one narration:
11:54
"Or on his neck are fluttering garments."
11:58
It will say:
11:59
"O Messenger of Allah, help me!"
12:02
And I will say:
12:03
"I possess nothing for you;
12:06
I have already conveyed the message to you."
12:08
Commentary on the hadith:
12:12
"In the best state they ever were":
12:14
Meaning in terms of strength and fatness.
12:16
"Their right":

12:22
Meaning treading upon him with their feet.
12:24
"Trampling him with their hooves":
12:27
Meaning treading upon him.
12:28
The hoof (zalf) is for sheep,
12:30
just as the hoof (khuff) is for camels,
12:31
and the foot is for humans.
12:34
"Part of their right is that they be milked at the water source":
12:37
It was the custom of the Arabs
12:38
to give some milk in charity when the livestock arrived at the water.

13:02
"Bellowing":
13:03
Bellowing is the sound of the camel.
13:06
From the benefits of the hadith:
13:10
The hadith indicates the obligation of zakat on camels, cows, and sheep.
13:16
Some have used this hadith as evidence
13:18
that there is a right for the poor and the wayfarer in the milk of livestock and the fruits of trees.
13:24
And this right is separate from zakat.
13:27
The hadith shows that the Prophet (peace be upon him)
13:30
warned his Ummah against withholding zakat and the punishment for doing so.
13:34
There is no excuse for the one who withholds it on the Day of Resurrection.
13:38
It also shows that the recompense is of the same nature as the deed.
13:43
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
13:47
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
13:51
"Whoever Allah has given wealth and he does not pay its zakat,
13:55
his wealth will be represented to him on the Day of Resurrection
13:58
as a bald-headed poisonous snake with two black spots above its eyes,
14:02
which will encircle him on the Day of Resurrection."
14:05
In one narration, its owner will flee from it.
14:09
"Then it will seize him by his jawbones,"
14:11
meaning his cheeks.
14:13
"Then it will say: 'I am your wealth, I am your treasure.'"
14:19
In one narration, he said:
14:21
"By Allah, it will continue to pursue him,
14:24
until he stretches out his hand and it bites his fingers."
14:28
Then he recited: ﴾And let not those who covetously withhold...﴿
14:33
The verse.
14:36
Commentary on the hadith:
14:39
"Whoever Allah has given wealth":
14:42
Meaning from that upon which zakat is obligatory.
14:45
"His wealth will be represented to him":
14:46
Meaning his wealth, for which he did not pay zakat, will be given a form.
14:50
"A poisonous snake":
14:52
The intended meaning is a snake.
14:55
"With two black spots":
14:56
Meaning the two black dots above its eyes.
15:00
Others have said something else.
15:02

15:04
Meaning it will form a collar around his neck.
15:07
"By his jawbones," meaning his cheeks,
15:09
meaning the sides of the mouth.
15:12
“And let not those who hoard up that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty think that it is better for them. Nay, it is worse for them. That which they hoard will be their collar on the Day of Resurrection. Allah's is the heritage of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is Informed of what ye do.” (3:180)
15:15
Meaning: Let not those who withhold what they have
15:18
from what Allah has bestowed upon them of His bounty,
15:21
and has been kind to them with,
15:23
and has commanded them to spend of it—what does not harm them—upon His servants,
15:27
and they withheld that,
15:28
thinking it was better for them,
15:31
rather, it is worse for them in their religion and their worldly life.
15:35
From the benefits of the hadith:
15:39
The hadith contains evidence for the obligatory nature of zakat,
15:42
because the severe threat indicates that.
15:46
It contains evidence for the transformation of physical forms,
15:49
and that is within the power of Allah the Exalted,
15:51
easy and undeniable.
15:54
It contains a condemnation of stinginess and greed.
15:56
The hadith implies the negation of stinginess for those who fulfill their obligations.
16:03
Chapter: What has had its zakat paid is not a treasure.
16:08
On the authority of Khalid Ibn Aslam, who said:
16:11
We went out with Abdullah Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both),
16:15
and a Bedouin said:
16:17
"Tell me about the saying of Allah: ﴾And those who hoard gold and silver...﴿"
16:19
“O ye who believe! Lo! many of the (Jewish) rabbis and the (Christian) monks devour the wealth of mankind wantonly and debar (men) from the way of Allah. They who hoard up gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah, unto them give tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful doom,” (9:34)
16:22
“O ye who believe! Lo! many of the (Jewish) rabbis and the (Christian) monks devour the wealth of mankind wantonly and debar (men) from the way of Allah. They who hoard up gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah, unto them give tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful doom,” (9:34)
16:26
Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said:
16:29
"Whoever hoards it and does not pay its zakat,
16:32
then woe to him.
16:34
This was only before zakat was revealed.
16:38
But when it was revealed,
16:40
Allah made it a purification for wealth."
16:44
Commentary on the hadith:
16:47
“O ye who believe! Lo! many of the (Jewish) rabbis and the (Christian) monks devour the wealth of mankind wantonly and debar (men) from the way of Allah. They who hoard up gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah, unto them give tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful doom,” (9:34)
16:50
“O ye who believe! Lo! many of the (Jewish) rabbis and the (Christian) monks devour the wealth of mankind wantonly and debar (men) from the way of Allah. They who hoard up gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah, unto them give tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful doom,” (9:34)
16:53
The forbidden treasure:
16:55
Whoever withholds it from mandatory spending,
16:58
such as withholding zakat from it,
17:00
or mandatory expenses,
17:02
or spending in the cause of Allah when it becomes obligatory.
17:06
"Woe to him":
17:08
Woe:
17:09
A word said to someone who has fallen into something for which they deserve it.
17:14
"Before zakat was revealed":
17:16
Meaning before zakat was made obligatory.
17:19
"A purification for wealth":
17:21
Meaning a cleansing for wealth.
17:25
From the benefits of the hadith:
17:28
It is understood from the hadith
17:30
that zakat is a purification for wealth,
17:33
and for its owner from base character traits and stinginess.
17:37
It contains that there are rights in wealth that must be fulfilled.
17:43
On the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him),
17:47
that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
17:51
"There is no zakat on less than five wasqs of dates,
17:56
and there is no zakat on less than five awqiyah of silver,
18:00
and there is no zakat on less than five camels."
18:06
Commentary on the hadith:
18:09
Wasqs:
18:11
The wasq:
18:12
Sixty sa'.
18:13
It is equivalent to 150 kilograms.
18:17
Sadaqah:
18:18
Meaning zakat.
18:20
Awqiyah:
18:22
The awqiyah:
18:23
Forty dirhams.
18:25
It is equivalent to approximately 120 grams.
18:29
Dhuwd:
18:30
The dhuwd:
18:31
From three to ten.
18:34
From the benefits of the hadith:
18:38
The hadith indicates that there is no zakat on wealth that has not reached the minimum threshold (nisab).
18:43
And that wealth which has not reached the minimum threshold is not considered a treasure.
18:50
On the authority of Zayd Ibn Wahb, who said:
18:52
I passed by al-Rabadhah,
18:54
and there I found Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him).
18:58
I said to him:
19:00
"What brought you to this place of yours?"
19:03
He said:
19:04
"I was in the Levant,
19:06
and I differed with Mu'awiyah regarding: ﴾And those who hoard gold and silver...﴿"
19:11
“O ye who believe! Lo! many of the (Jewish) rabbis and the (Christian) monks devour the wealth of mankind wantonly and debar (men) from the way of Allah. They who hoard up gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah, unto them give tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful doom,” (9:34)
19:15
Mu'awiyah said:
19:16
"It was revealed regarding the People of the Book."
19:19
So I said:
19:20
"It was revealed regarding us and them."
19:22
So there was a dispute between me and him regarding that,
19:25
and he wrote to Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) complaining about me.
19:30
So Uthman wrote to me:
19:32
That I approach Medina.
