CHAPTER: Property On Which Zakat Is Payable.
Abu Saeed Al Khudri reported: That the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying No sadaqah (zakat) is payable on less than five camels, on less than five ounces of silver and on less than five camel loads (wasq).
Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: There is no zakat payable (on grain or dates) on less than five camel-loads. The wasq (one camel-load) measures sixty sa' in weight.
Ibrahim said The wasq contained sixty sa’s stamped with the stamp of Al Hajjaj.
Habib al-Maliki said: A man said to Imran ibn Husayn: Abu Nujayd, you narrate to us traditions whose basis we do not find in the Quran. Thereupon, Imran got angry and said to the man: Do you find in the Quran that one dirham is due on forty dirhams (as Zakat), and one goat is due on such-and-such number of goats, and one camel will be due on such-and-such number of camels? He replied: No. He said: From whom did you take it? You took it from us, from the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. He mentioned many similar things.
Narrated Umm Salamah, Ummul Muminin: I used to wear gold ornaments. I asked: Is that a treasure (kanz), Messenger of Allah? He replied: whatever reaches a quantity on which zakat is payable is not a treasure (kanz) when the zakat is paid.
Narrated Abdallah bin Shaddad bin Al Had: We entered upon Aishah, wife of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. She said The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم entered upon me and saw two silver rings in my hand. He asked What is this, Aishah? I said I have made two ornaments myself for you, Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. He asked Do you pay zakat on them? I said No or I said Whatever Allah willed. He said this is sufficient for you (to take you) to the Hell fire.
The aforesaid tradition has also been narrated by Umar bin Yala through a different chain of narrators, like the tradition of ring. Sufyan, a narrator, was asked How do you pay zakat on it. He said You may combine it with other (ornaments).
