Volume 2, Book 24, Number 533:
Narrated Anas:
Abu Bakr , wrote to me about the Zakat which Allah had ordered His Apostle to observe: Whoever
had to pay Jahda (Jahda means a four-year-old she-camel) as Zakat from his herd of camels and he
had not got one, and he had Hiqqa (three-year-old she-camel), that Hiqqa should be accepted from
him along with two sheep if they were available or twenty Dirhams (one Durham equals about 1/4
Saudi Riyal) and whoever had to pay Hiqqa as Zakat and he had no Hiqqa but had a Jadha, the Jadha
should be accepted from him, and the Zakat collector should repay him twenty Dirhams or two
sheep; and whoever had to pay Hiqqa as Zakat and he had not got one, but had a Bint Labun (two-
year-old she-camel), it should be accepted from him along with two sheep or twenty Dirhams; and
whoever had to pay Bint Labun and had a Hiqqa, that Hiqqa should be accepted from him and the
Zakat collector should repay him twenty Dirhams or two sheep; and whoever had to pay Bint Labun
