حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ

أَقْرَأَنِي سَالِمٌ كِتَابًا كَتَبَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَوَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ فَوَجَدْتُ فِيهِ فِي أَرْبَعِينَ شَاةً شَاةٌ إِلَى عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةٍ فَإِذَا زَادَتْ وَاحِدَةً فَفِيهَا شَاتَانِ إِلَى مِائَتَيْنِ فَإِذَا زَادَتْ وَاحِدَةً فَفِيهَا ثَلاَثُ شِيَاهٍ إِلَى ثَلاَثِمِائَةٍ فَإِذَا كَثُرَتْ فَفِي كُلِّ مِائَةٍ شَاةٌ وَوَجَدْتُ فِيهِ لاَ يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَ مَتَفَرِّقٍ وَلاَ يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَ مُجْتَمِعٍ وَوَجَدْتُ فِيهِ لاَ يُؤْخَذُ فِي الصَّدَقَةِ تَيْسٌ وَلاَ هَرِمَةٌ وَلاَ ذَاتُ عَوَارٍ

Salim said: “My father read to me a letter that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had written about Sadaqat before Allah caused him to pass away. I read in it: 'For forty sheep, one sheep, up to one hundred and twenty. If there is more than that - even one - then two sheep, up to two hundred, If there is one more than that - even one = then three sheep, up to three hundred. If there are many sheep, then for each hundred, one sheep.' And I read in it: 'Separate flocks should not be combined, and a combined flock should not be separated.' And I read in it: 'And a male goat should not be taken for Sadaqah, nor a decrepit nor defective animal.' ”

  • ابن عدي

    لا أعلم يرويه عن الزهري غير سليمان بن كثير وسفيان بن حسين

    in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 1874
  • Dāraquṭnī

    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.
