قَالَ الله تعالىٰ: {وَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُواْ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ} [البقرة 43]، قَالَ تعالىٰ: {وَمَآ أُمِرُوٓاْ إِلَّا لِيَعبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مُخلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ حُنَفَآءَ وَيُقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤتُواْ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَذَٰلِكَ دِينُ ٱلقَيِّمَةِ} [البينة 5]، وقال تعالىٰ: {خُذ مِن أَموَٰلِهِم صَدَقَة تُطَهِّرُهُم وَتُزَكِّيهِم بِهَا} [التوبة 103].
Allah Almighty says: {And establish prayer and give Zakah} [Surat al-Baqarah: 43] He also says: {And they were only commanded to worship Allah with sincere devotion to Him in all uprightness, establish prayer, and give Zakah. That is the upright religion.} [Surat al-Bayyinah: 5] Allah Almighty also says: {Take [O Muhammad] from their wealth a charity by which you purify them and cause them increase.} [Surat at-Tawbah: 103]
1) أداء الزكاة عبادة لله تعالىٰ، وإحسان إلىٰ الخلق، وهي الركن الثالث من أركان الإسلام.
1) Giving Zakah is an act of worship to Allah and kindness to people. It is the third pillar of Islam.
2) الزكاة سبب لانشراح الصدر، وزيادة الرزق، وتطهير قلب العبد.
2) Zakah brings relief, increases sustenance, and purifies the heart.
3) أداء الزكاة دليل علىٰ صدق إيمان العبد، وقيامه بحق العبودية لله تعالىٰ.
3) Giving Zakah is a sign of true faith and fulfillment of the right of servitude to Allah Almighty.
4) الزكاة تليِّن قلب العبد نحو الفقراء، وتخرج العبد عن البخل إلىٰ حب الإنفاق.
4) Zakah softens the heart towards the poor and rids a person of miserliness and makes him love giving.
1/1206 ــ عَنْ ابنِ عُمرَ رضي الله عنهما أنَّ رَسُولَ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، قَالَ: «بُنِيَ الإسلامُ علىٰ خمسٍ: شهادةِ أنْ لا إلهَ إلا اللهُ، وأنَّ محمَّداً عبدُهُ ورسُولُهُ، وإقامِ الصَّلاةِ ، وإيتاءِ الزَّكاةِ، وحَجِّ البيتِ، وصوْمِ رَمَضَانَ». متفق عليه.
1206/1 - Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Islam was built on five pillars: testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, establishing prayer, giving Zakah, performing Hajj to the (Sacred) House, and fasting Ramadan.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
1) إن أداء الزكاة أحد أركان الإسلام الخمسة، ولا يتم إسلام من يمتنع عن أدائها.
1) Giving Zakah is one of the five pillars of Islam. Without it, Islam would be incomplete and unsound.
2) قَرْنُ الزكاة بالصلاة في كتاب الله تعالىٰ، وسنة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، لأن الصلاة حق لله تعالىٰ، وصلة العبد بربه، والزكاة صلة الخَلق.
2) Zakah is coupled with prayer in the Qur’an and the Sunnah, for prayer is a right of Allah and constitutes the link between a servant and his Lord; whereas Zakah is a link to people.
2/1207ــ وعن طَلْحَةَ بنِ عُبيْدِ الله رضي الله عنه قالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إلىٰ رَسُولِ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ أهْلِ نَجْدٍ، ثَائِرُ الرَّأْسِ، نَسْمَعُ دَوِيَّ صَوتِهِ، وَلا نَفْقَهُ ما يَقُولُ، حَتىٰ دَنَا مِنْ رَسُولِ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فإذا هُوَ يَسْأَلُ عَنِ الإسْلاَمِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ في اليَوْمِ وَاللَّيلَةِ» قالَ: هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهُنَّ؟ قالَ: «لا، إلَّا أَنْ تَطَّوَّعَ»، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم: «وَصِيَامُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ» قَالَ: هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهُ؟ قَالَ: «لا، إلَّا أنْ تَطَّوَّعَ» قَال: وَذَكَرَ لَهُ رَسُولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الزَّكَاةَ، فَقَالَ: هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهَا؟ قَالَ: «لا، إلا أَنْ تَطَّوَّعَ» فَأَدْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: وَاللهِ لا أَزِيدُ عَلىٰ هذَا وَلا أَنْقُصُ مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم: «أَفْلَحَ إنْ صَدَقَ» مُتفق عليهِ.
1207/2 - Talhah ibn ‘Ubaydillāh (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man from the people of Najd, with disheveled hair, came to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). We could hear his loud voice but could not understand what he was saying, until he came close to the Messenger, when it then became clear that he was asking about Islam. The Messenger of Allah said: “There are five prayers during the day and the night.” He said: “Do I have to perform any other prayer besides these?” The Prophet said: “No, unless you do so voluntarily.” The Prophet added: “And the fasting of Ramadan.” The man asked: “Do I have to fast any other days beyond this?” The Prophet said: “No, unless you do so voluntarily.” Then, the Prophet told him about the Zakah, and the man asked: “Do I have to pay anything else beside this?” The Prophet said: “No, unless you do so voluntarily.” Then, the man turned away while saying: “By Allah, I will neither do more nor less than this.” Upon hearing this, the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) remarked: “He will be successful if he proves to be truthful.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]

2) الزكاة منها ما هُوَ واجب علىٰ العبد، ومنها ما هُوَ تطوّع وصدقة.
2) Zakah contains both obligatory and voluntary charity.
3) الحث علىٰ تعلّم أحكام الفقه من أهل العلم، وسؤالهم عما يشكل في أمر الدين.

1208ــ وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنه أنَّ النَّبيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بعَثَ مُعاذاً رضي الله عنه إلىٰ اليَمن، فقال: «ادْعُهُمْ إلىٰ شهادةِ أنْ لا إلهَ إلا اللهُ وأنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ، فإن هُمْ أطَاعُوا لذلك، فأعلمْهُمْ أنَّ اللهَ تعالىٰ افتَرَضَ عليهم خمسَ صلواتٍ في كلِّ يومٍ وليلةٍ، فإن هُمْ أطاعُوا لذلك فأَعلمْهُمْ أنَّ اللهَ افتَرَضَ عليهم صَدَقَةً تُؤخَذُ من أغنيائهمْ، وتُرَدُّ علىٰ فقَرائهم». متفق عليه.
1208 - Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) dispatched Mu‘ādh (may Allah be pleased with him) to Yemen and said to him: “Call them to the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah. If they obey you in that, tell them that Allah Almighty ordained on them five prayers every day and night. If they obey you in that, tell them that Allah ordained on them Zakah to be taken from the rich among them and given back to the poor among them.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
1) الزكاة حق شرعي علىٰ الأغنياء أن يملّكوه للفقراء، بحيث يقبض مستحقُّ الزكاة حقه ويتملكه.
1) Zakah is a religious right upon the rich which they should give to the poor, such that those deserving of Zakah receive and possess this right.
2) أحقُّ الناس بزكاة المال هم فقراء البلد الذي يُخرج منه الزكاة، ولا تُنقل إلىٰ بلد آخر إلا لمصلحة راجحة.
2) Those most entitled to Zakah are the local poor people. The money of Zakah should not be taken to another country unless this serves a predominant interest.
3) عند دعوة الناس إلىٰ دين الله تعالىٰ تُراعىٰ الأولويات في المسائل، فتكون العناية بالتوحيد أولاً، ثُمَّ الصلاة، ثم بقية أركان الإسلام.
3) When we invite people to the religion of Allah, we should take priorities into consideration. Tawhīd (Monotheism) comes first, then the prayer, and then the other pillars of Islam.
4/1209ــ عَنْ ابن عمرَ رضي الله عنهما قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أقاتِلَ النَّاسَ حتىٰ يَشهدُوا أَنْ لاَ إلهَ إلَّا الله وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ الله، وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلاةَ، وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ، فَإذَا فَعَلوا ذلكَ عَصَمُوا مِنِّي دِمَاءَهُمْ وأَمْوَالَهُمْ إلَّا بِحَقِّ الإسْلامِ، وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلىٰ الله». متفق عليه.
1209/4 - Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “I have been commanded to fight people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, establish prayer, and give Zakah; if they do so, they protect their blood and property from me, unless legally justified; and their reckoning lies with Allah.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
1) الزكاة حق الإسلام الواجب في المال، فهي ليست مِنَّة ولا عطيّة يتصدق بها الغني.
1) Zakah is the right of Islam in a person’s wealth. It is not a favor or gift donated by the rich.
2) من امتنع عن أداء الحق الواجب في الزكاة فعلىٰ ولي الأمر أن يقاتله علىٰ ذلك.
2) If a person refuses to give the due Zakah, the ruler should fight him over that.
5/1210ــ وعن أبي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: لمَّا تُوفِّي رَسُول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وكانَ أبو بكر رضي الله عنه، وكَفَرَ مَن كَفَرَ منَ العرَب، فقالَ عُمَرُ رضي الله عنه: كيف تُقاتلُ النَّاسَ، وقدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «أُمِرتُ أَنْ أقاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّىٰ يَقُولُوا لا إلهَ إلَّا الله، فَمَنْ قَالَها فَقَدْ عَصَمَ مِنِّي مَالَهُ وَنَفْسَهُ إلَّا بحَقِّهِ، وَحِسَابُهُ عَلىٰ الله؟!» فقال أبو بكر: واللهِ لأُقَاتِلَنَّ من فَرَّقَ بينَ الصَّلاةِ والزَّكاةِ، فإنَّ الزَّكاةَ حقُّ المالِ. واللهِ لو منعُوني عقالاً كانوا يُؤدُّونه إلىٰ رَسُول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لقَاتَلْتُهُمْ علىٰ مَنعِهِ. قَالَ: عُمَرُ رضي الله عنه: فوالله ما هُوَ إلَّا أن رأيتُ اللهَ قدْ شَرَحَ صَدْرَ أبي بَكْرٍ للقتَالِ، فَعَرَفْت أنَّهُ الحقُّ. متفق عليه.
1210/5 - Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: When the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, and Abu Bakr became his successor, some Arabs apostatized, ‘Umar said to Abu Bakr: “How can you fight people when the Messenger of Allah said: ‘I have been commanded to fight people until they testify that there is no god but Allah; if they say it, they have protected their property and life, unless legally justified; and their reckoning lies with Allah’?” Thereupon, Abu Bakr said: “By Allah, I will definitely fight those who make distinction between prayer and Zakah, because Zakah is the right due in wealth. By Allah, I will fight them even to secure a piece of rope which they used to give to the Messenger of Allah.” ‘Umar said: “By Allah, I realized that Allah opened the heart of Abu Bakr for fighting, and I fully recognized that this was the right thing to do.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
عقالاً: الحبل الذي يربط به البعير.
Rope: The rope mentioned here is the cord used to tie a camel.

1212/7 - Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: A Bedouin came to the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and said: “O Messenger of Allah, tell me of a deed which if I do, I will enter Paradise.” He said: “That you worship Allah and do not associate any partner with Him, establish prayer, pay the due Zakah, and fast in Ramadan.” He (the Bedouin) said: “By the One in Whose hand my soul is, I will not do anything beyond that.” As he left, the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever is pleased to look at a man from the dwellers of Paradise, he can look at this man.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
1) أداء الزكاة المفروضة من الأعمال الموجبة لدخول الجنة.

2) Paying Zakah is inseparable from establishing prayer, for Zakah is a bond with those entitled to it and the prayer is a bond with the Almighty Lord.
9/1214 ــ عَنْ أبي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «مَا مِنْ صَاحِبِ ذهَبٍ وَلا فِضَّةٍ، لا يُؤَدِّي مِنْهَا حَقَّهَا، إلَّا إذا كَانَ يَوْمُ القِيَامَةِ صُفِّحَتْ لَهُ صفَائحُ مِنْ نَارٍ، فَأُحْمِيَ عَلَيْهَا في نارِ جَهَنَّمَ، فَيُكْوَىٰ بِهَا جَنْبُهُ، وَجَبِينُهُ، وَظَهْرُهُ، كُلَّمَا بَرَدَتْ أُعيدَتْ لَهُ في يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ، حَتَّىٰ يُقْضَىٰ بَيْنَ العِبَادِ، فَيُرَىٰ سَبِيلُهُ؛ إمَّا إلىٰ الجَنَّةِ، وَإمّا إلىٰ النّار».
1214/9 - Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Any person who possesses gold or silver and does not pay what is due on it (i.e. Zakah), on the Day of Resurrection they will be made for him into sheets of fire and would be heated in the fire of Hell and with them his flank, forehead, and back will be branded. When they cool down, they will be heated again and the same process will be repeated during a day the measure whereof will be fifty thousand years. (This will go on) until Judgment is pronounced among the creation, and he will be shown his final path, either to Paradise or to Hellfire.”
قِيلَ: يا رَسُولَ الله، فالإبلُ؟ قَالَ: «وَلاَ صَاحِبُ إبِلٍ لا يُؤَدِّي مِنْهَا حَقَّهَا، وَمِنْ حَقِّهَا حَلْبُهَا يَوْمَ وِرْدِها، إلَّا إذا كانَ يَوْمُ القِيَامة بُطِحَ لَها بِقَاعٍ قَرْقَرٍ أَوْفَرَ ما كانَتْ، لا يَفْقِدُ مِنْهَا فَصِيلاً وَاحِداً، تَطَؤُهُ بِأخْفَافِهَا، وَتَعَضُّهُ بِأَفْوَاهِها، كُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ أُولاها رُدَّ عَلَيْهِ أُخْرَاها، في يَومٍ كانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ، حَتَّىٰ يُقْضَىٰ بَيْنَ العِبادِ، فَيُرَىٰ سَبِيلُه؛ إمَّا إلىٰ الجَنَّةِ، وَإمّا إلىٰ النارِ».
They said: “O Messenger of Allah, what about camels?” He replied: “In the same way the owner of camels who does not discharge what is due with respect to them – and this includes milking them on their watering day – will be thrown on his face or on his back in a vast desert plain on the Day of Resurrection and they will trample upon him with their hoofs and bite him with their teeth. As often as the first of them passes him, the last of them will be made to return during a day the measure whereof will be fifty thousand years. (This will go on) until Judgment is pronounced among the creation, and he will be shown his final path, either to Paradise or to Hellfire.”

He will find none of the animals missing, with twisted horns, without horns, or with a broken horn, and they will gore him with their horns and trample upon him with their hoofs. As often as the first of them passes him, the last of them will be made to return to him during a day the measure whereof will be fifty thousand years. (This will go on) until Judgment is pronounced among the creation, and he will be shown his final path, either to Paradise or to Hellfire.”
قِيلَ: يا رَسُولَ الله فالخَيْلُ ؟ قَالَ: «الخَيْلُ ثَلاثَةٌ: هِيَ لِرَجُلٍ وِزرٌ، وَهِيَ لِرجُلٍ سِتْرٌ، وَهيَ لِرجُلٍ أَجْرٌ. فَأَمَّا التي هِيَ لَهُ وِزرٌ فَرَجُلٌ رَبَطَهَا رِيَاءً وَفَخْراً وَنِواءً عَلىٰ أَهْلِ الإسْلامِ، فهِيَ لَهُ وِزْرٌ. وَأَمَّا التي هِيَ لَهُ سِتْرٌ، فَرَجُلٌ رَبَطَهَا في سَبِيلِ الله، ثُمَّ لَم يَنْسَ حَقَّ الله في ظُهُورِها وَلا رِقابَها، فَهِيَ لَهُ سِتْرٌ. وَأَمَّا التي هِيَ لَهُ أَجْرٌ، فَرَجُلٌ رَبَطَهَا في سَبِيلِ الله لأَهْلِ الإسْلامِ في مَرْجٍ، أوْ رَوْضَةٍ، فَمَا أَكَلَتْ مِن ذلكَ المَرجِ أوِ الرَّوضَةِ مِن شَيءٍ إلَّا كُتِبَ لَه عَدَدَ ما أَكَلَتْ حَسَناتٌ، وَكُتِبَ لَهُ عَدَدَ أَروَاثِهَا وَأبْوَالِهَا حَسَنَاتٌ، وَلا تَقْطَعُ طِوَلَها فاستَنَّتْ شَرَفاً أَو شَرَفَيْنِ إلَّا كَتَبَ الله لَهُ عَدَدَ آثارِهَا، وأَروَاثِهَا حَسَنَاتٍ، وَلا مَرَّ بِها صَاحِبُها عَلىٰ نَهْرٍ، فَشَرِبَتْ مِنْهُ، وَلا يُريدُ أن يَسْقِيَهَا إلَّا كَتبَ الله لَهُ عَدَدَ مَا شَرِبَتْ حَسَنَاتٍ».
It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, what about horses?” He replied: “The horses are of three types. One, which is a burden for the owner; another is a shield, and another one makes its owner entitled to reward. The one for whom these are a burden is the person who rears them for show or for pride or in hostility to Muslims. They will be a cause of torment for their owners. The one that are a shield is the person who rears them for the sake of Allah and does not forget the right of Allah concerning their backs and their necks, so they are a shield for him. Those which bring reward to their owner are the ones reared in a meadow or garden to be used in the way of Allah (Jihad) by Muslims. Whatever they eat from that meadow or garden will be recorded on his behalf as good deeds so much so that their droppings and urine will be counted for an equal number of good deeds for him. Even when they break their tying rope and run for a stretch or two of highland, every hoofprint they leave will be counted as a good deed on behalf of the owner. When their owner leads them through a stream from which they drink, though he does not intend to quench their thirst, yet Allah will record for him the quantity (of water) of what they drink on his behalf as good deeds.”
قِيلَ: يا رسولَ الله فالحُمُر؟ قالَ: «مَا أُنْزِلَ علَيَّ في الحُمُرِ شَيْءٌ إلَّا هذِهِ الآيَةُ الْفَاذَّةُ الجَامِعَةُ: {فَمَن يَعمَل مِثقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيرا يَرَهُۥ * وَمَن يَعمَل مِثقَالَ ذَرَّة شَرّا يَرَهُۥ} [الزلزلة 7 – 8]». مُتَّفِقٌ عَليهِ. وهذا لفظُ مُسْلِمٍ.
It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, what about donkeys?” He replied: “Nothing has been revealed to me regarding donkeys except this distinct comprehensive verse: {So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it. And whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.} [Surat az-Zalzalah: 7-8] [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim] This is the wording narrated by Muslim.
