حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote a letter about sadaqah (zakat) but he died before he could send it to his governors. He had kept it with his sword. So AbuBakr acted upon it till he died, and then Umar acted upon it till he died. It contained: "For five camels one goat is to be given; for ten camels two goats are to be given; for fifteen camels three goats are to be given; for twenty camels four goats are to be given; for twenty-five to thirty-five camels a she-camel in her second year is to be given. If the number exceeds by one up to seventy camels, a she-camel in her fourth year is to be given; if they exceed by one up to seventy-five camels, a she-camel in her fifth year is to be given; if they exceed by one up to ninety camels, two she-camels in their third year are to be given; if they exceed by one up to one hundred and twenty, two she-camels in their fourth year are to be given. If the camels are more than this, a she-camel in her fourth year is to be given for every fifty camels, and a she-camel in her third year is to be given for every forty camels. For forty to one hundred and twenty goats one goat is to be given; if they exceed by one up to two hundred, two goats are to be given. If they exceed by one up to three hundred, three goats are to be given; if the goats are more than this, one goat for every hundred goats is to be given. Nothing is payable until they reach one hundred. Those which are in one flock are not to be separated, and those which are in separate flocks are not be brought together from fear of sadaqah (zakat). Regarding that which belongs to two partners, they can make claims for restitution from each other with equity. An old goat and a defective one are not to be accepted as sadaqah (zakat)." Az-Zuhri said: When the collector comes, the goats will be apportioned into three flocks: one containing bad, the second good, and the third moderate. The collector will take zakat from the moderate. Az-Zuhri did not mention the cows (to be apportioned in three flocks).

  • Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī

    سفيان ضعيف في الزهري وقد خالفه من هو أحفظ منه في الزهري فأرسله

    machine translationSufyān is weak (ḍaʿīf) in his narration from al-Zuhrī, and someone with a better memory than him from al-Zuhrī contradicted him and narrated it as a mursal.

    in سنن أبي داود, p. 1563
  • al-Tirmidhi

    حسن غريب وقد روى يونس بن يزيد وغير واحد عن الزهري عن سالم هذا الحديث ولم يرفعه وإنما رفعه سفيان بن حسين وقال في كتاب العلل سألت محمد بن إسماعيل البخاري عن هذا الحديث فقال أرجو أن يكون محفوظا وسفيان بن حسين صدوق

    machine translationGood and gharīb (ḥasan gharīb). Yūnus b. Yazīd and more than one other narrated this hadith from al-Zuhrī, from Sālim, and did not trace it back to the Prophet (marfūʿ); only Sufyān b. Ḥusayn raised it. He said in the Book of Defects (al-ʿIlal): I asked Muḥammad b. Ismāʿīl al-Bukhārī about this hadith and he said: I hope that it is preserved (maḥfūẓ), and Sufyān b. Ḥusayn is truthful (ṣadūq).

    يرويه الزهري واختلف عنه رواه سفيان بن حسين وسليمان بن أرقم عن الزهري عن سالم عن أبيه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم واختلف عن سليمان بن كثير فرواه عبد الرحمن بن مهدي عن سليمان بن كثير عن الزهري عن سالم عن أبيه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وغيره يرويه عن سليمان بن كثير موقوفا وحدث به يونس عن الزهري قال أقرأني سالم بن عبد الله كتاب عمر في الصدقات وساق الحديث بطوله وقول يونس أشبه بالصواب والله أعلم

    machine translationAl-Zuhrī narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Sufyān b. Ḥusayn and Sulaymān b. Arqam narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from Sālim, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ. There is disagreement about Sulaymān b. Kathīr: ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Mahdī narrated it from Sulaymān b. Kathīr, from al-Zuhrī, from Sālim, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ, while others narrate it from Sulaymān b. Kathīr as mawqūf. Yūnus narrated it from al-Zuhrī, who said: Sālim b. ʿAbdillāh had me read the letter of ʿUmar on the zakāt, and he related the hadith in full. The statement of Yūnus is closer to the correct view, and God knows best.

  • Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī

    تفرد بوصله سفيان بن حسين وهو ضعيف في الزهري خاصة والحفاظ من أصحاب الزهري لا يصلونه

    machine translationSufyān b. Ḥusayn alone narrated it as connected (mawṣūl), and he is weak (ḍaʿīf) specifically in his narration from al-Zuhrī, and the memorizers (ḥuffāẓ) among the students of al-Zuhrī do not narrate it as connected.
