Musnad Ahmad 15427

Translation

✧ 'Alqama appointed his father over the collection of the zakat of his people. Muslim said: My father sent me to his zakat collector with a group of my people. He said: I set out until I came to an old man called Sa'r in a ravine among the ravines, and I said: My father has sent me to you so that you give me the zakat of your sheep. He said: O my nephew, what kind do you take? I said: We take the best we find. The old man said: I was in a ravine among these ravines with my sheep when two men came to me riding one camel, and they said: We are the messengers of the Messenger of God ﷺ; he sent us to you so that you give us the zakat of your sheep. I said: What is it? They said: One ewe. So I went to a ewe whose place I knew, full of pregnancy - or fat - and fat, and brought it out to them. They said: This is a pregnant one, and the Messenger of God ﷺ has forbidden us to take a pregnant one - the pregnant one is one that has its young in its belly. He said: I said: What then do you take? They said: A young she-goat, or a jadha'ah, or a thaniyyah. He said: So he brought out to them a young she-goat. He said: They said: Hand it over to us, so they took it and placed it with them on their camel.
