Muslim ibn Shubah said: Nafi ibn Alqamah appointed my father as charge d'affaires of his tribe, and commanded him to collect sadaqah (zakat) from them. My father sent me to a group of them; so I came to an aged man called Sa'r ibn Disam I said: My father has sent me to you to collect zakat from you. He asked: What kind of animals will you take, my nephew? I replied: We shall select the sheep and examine their udders. He said: My nephew, I shall narrate a tradition to you. I lived on one of these steppes during the time of the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم along with my sheep. Two people riding a camel came to me. They said to me: We are messengers of the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, sent to you so that you may pay the sadaqah (zakat) on your sheep. I asked: What is due from me for them? They said: One goat. I went to a goat which I knew was full of milk and fat, and I brought it to them. They said: This is a pregnant goat. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم prohibited us to accept a pregnant goat. I asked: What will you take then? They said: A goat in its second year or a goat in its third year. I then went to a goat which had not given birth to any kid, but it was going to do so. I brought it to them. They said: Give it to us. They took it on the camel and went away. Abu Dawud said: Abu Asim transmitted this tradition from Zakariyya. He said: Muslim bin Shubah is a narrator in the chain of this tradition as reported by the narrator Rawh.

مسلم بن ثفنہ یشکری ۱؎ کہتے ہیں   نافع بن علقمہ نے میرے والد کو اپنی قوم کے کاموں پر عامل مقرر کیا اور انہیں ان سے زکاۃ وصول کرنے کا حکم دیا، میرے والد نے مجھے ان کی ایک جماعت کی طرف بھیجا، چنانچہ میں ایک بوڑھے آدمی کے پاس آیا، جس کا نام سعر بن دیسم تھا، میں نے کہا: مجھے میرے والد نے آپ کے پاس زکاۃ وصول کرنے کے لیے بھیجا ہے، وہ بولے: بھتیجے! تم کس قسم کے جانور لو گے؟ میں نے کہا: ہم تھنوں کو دیکھ کر عمدہ جانور چنیں گے، انہوں نے کہا: بھتیجے! میں تمہیں ایک حدیث سناتا ہوں: میں اپنی بکریوں کے ساتھ یہیں گھاٹی میں رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے زمانے میں رہا کرتا تھا، ایک بار دو آدمی ایک اونٹ پر سوار ہو کر آئے اور مجھ سے کہنے لگے: ہم رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے بھیجے ہوئے ہیں، تاکہ تم اپنی بکریوں کی زکاۃ ادا کرو، میں نے کہا: مجھے کیا دینا ہو گا؟ انہوں نے کہا: ایک بکری، میں نے ایک بکری کی طرف قصد کیا، جس کی جگہ مجھے معلوم تھی، وہ بکری دودھ اور چربی سے بھری ہوئی تھی، میں اسے نکال کر ان کے پاس لایا، انہوں نے کہا: یہ بکری پیٹ والی ( حاملہ ) ہے، ہم کو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ایسی بکری لینے سے منع کیا ہے، پھر میں نے کہا: تم کیا لو گے؟ انہوں نے کہا: ایک برس کی بکری جو دوسرے برس میں داخل ہو گئی ہو یا دو برس کی جو تیسرے میں داخل ہو گئی ہو، میں نے ایک موٹی بکری جس نے بچہ نہیں دیا تھا مگر بچہ دینے کے لائق ہونے والی تھی کا قصد کیا، اسے نکال کر ان کے پاس لایا تو انہوں نے کہا: اسے ہم نے لے لیا، پھر وہ دونوں اسے اپنے اونٹ پر لاد کر لیے چلے گئے۔ ابوداؤد کہتے ہیں: اسے ابوعاصم نے زکریا سے روایت کیا ہے، انہوں نے بھی مسلم بن شعبہ کہا ہے جیسا کہ روح نے کہا۔

This tradition has also been narrated by Zakariyya bin Ishaq through his chain of narrators. In this version Mulsim bin Shubah said: Shafi' means a goat which has a baby in its womb. Abu Dawud said: I read in a document possessed by Abdullah ibn Salim at Hims: Abdullah ibn Muawiyah al-Ghadiri reported the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم as saying: He who performs three things will have the taste of the faith. (They are: ) One who worships Allah alone and one believes that there is no god but Allah; and one who pays the zakat on his property agreeably every year. One should not give an aged animal, nor one suffering from itch or ailing, and one most condemned, but one should give animals of medium quality, for Allah did not demand from you the best of your animals, nor did He command you to give the animals of worst quality.

sunan-abu-dawud-1583

Narrated Ubayy ibn Kab: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم commissioned me as a collector of zakat. I visited a man. When he had collected his property of camels, I found that a she-camel in her second year was due from him. I said to him: Pay a she-camel in her second year, for she is to be paid as sadaqah (zakat) by you. He said: That one is not worthy of milking and riding. Here is another she-camel which is young, grand and fat. So take it. I said to him: I shall not take an animal for which I have not been commanded. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم is here near to you. If you like, go to him, and present to him what you presented to me. Do that; if he accepts it from you, I shall accept it; if he rejects it, I shall reject it. He said: I shall do it. He accompanied me and took with him the she-camel which he had presented to me. We came to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. He said to him: Prophet of Allah, your messenger came to me to collect zakat on my property. By Allah, neither the Messenger of Allah nor his messenger has ever seen my property before. I gathered my property (camels), and he estimated that a she-camel in her second year would be payable by me. But that has neither milk nor is it worth riding. So I presented to him a grand young she-camel for acceptance as zakat. But he has refused to take her. Look, she is here; I have brought her to you, Messenger of Allah. Take her. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: That is what is due from you. If you give voluntarily a better (animal) Allah will give a reward to you for it. We accept her from you. She is here, Messenger of Allah; I have brought her to you. So take her. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then ordered me to take possession of it, and he prayed for a blessing on his property.

Narrated Ibn Abbas: said When the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم sent Muadh to Yemen, he said to him You are going to a people who are people of the book. So call them to bear witness that there is no diety but Allah, and that I am the Messenger of Allah. If they obey you in this respect, tell them that Allah has prescribed five prayers on them every day and night. If they obey you in this regard tell them that Allah has prescribed sadaqah (zakat) on their property and returned it to their poor. If they obey you in this respect, do not take the best of their property. Beware of the curse of the oppressed, for there is no curtain between it and Allah.
