"On the authority of 'Ali, he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us one day and said: Indeed, we have waived from you the sadaqah of horses and slaves, but give a quarter of a tenth. Give one dirham from every forty dirhams, and there is nothing due on less than two hundred. And on twenty mithqals, half a mithqal, and there is nothing due on less than that. And for what the sky waters, or what is irrigated by a spring, a tenth is due, and for what is watered by a water-wheel, half a tenth is due. And for camels, one sheep for every five, and there is nothing due on fewer than that. In another wording: there is nothing due on four. And for ten, two sheep. And for fifteen, three sheep. And for twenty, four. And for twenty-five, five sheep. If it exceeds by one, then a bint labun is due up to forty-five. If it exceeds by one, then a hiqqah, a camel that is ready for mating, up to seventy-five. If it exceeds by one, then a jadha'ah is due up to ninety. If it exceeds by one, then two hiqqahs, camels ready for mating, up to one hundred and twenty. If the camels are more than that, then a hiqqah is due for every fifty. And for cattle, for thirty, a tabi' or tabi'ah of a year. And for forty, a musinnah. There is nothing due on the working animals. And for sheep, for forty sheep, one sheep. If there are only thirty-nine, there is nothing due on you. And for forty, one sheep. Then there is nothing due on you until they reach one hundred and twenty. If they exceed one hundred and twenty by one, then two sheep are due up to two hundred. If they exceed two hundred by one, then three sheep are due up to three hundred. If the sheep increase beyond that, then one sheep is due for every hundred. Gathered animals are not to be separated, and separated animals are not to be joined out of fear of the sadaqah. The collector shall not take a stallion, nor an old animal, nor a defective one, nor a male goat, unless the collector wishes. If there is no bint makhad or ibn labun among the camels, then ten dirhams or two sheep."
