Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, “No Zakat is due on property mounting to less than five Uqiyas (of
silver), and no Zakat is due on less than five camels, and there is no Zakat on less than five Wasqs.”

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 488:
Narrated Zaid bin Wahab:
I passed by a place called Ar-Rabadha and by chance I met Abu Dhar and asked him, “What has
brought you to this place?” He said, “I was in Sham and differed with Muawiya on the meaning of
(the following verses of the Quran): ‘They who hoard up gold and silver and spend them not in the
way of Allah.’ (9.34). Muawiya said, ‘This verse is revealed regarding the people of the scriptures.” I
said, It was revealed regarding us and also the people of the scriptures.” So we had a quarrel and
Mu’awiya sent a complaint against me to ‘Uthman. ‘Uthman wrote to me to come to Medina, and I
came to Medina. Many people came to me as if they had not seen me before. So I told this to ‘Uthman
who said to me, “You may depart and live nearby if you wish.” That was the reason for my being here
for even if an Ethiopian had been nominated as my ruler, I would have obeyed him .
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 489:
Narrated Al-Ahnaf bin Qais:
While I was sitting with some people from Quraish, a man with very rough hair, clothes, and ap –
pearance came and stood in front of us, greeted us and said, “Inform those who hoard wealth, that a
stone will be heated in the Hell-fire and will be put on the nipples of their breasts till it comes out
from the bones of their shoulders and then put on the bones of their shoulders till it comes through
the nipples of their breasts the stone will be moving and hitting.” After saying that, the person re –
treated and sat by the side of the pillar, I followed him and sat beside him, and I did not know who
he was. I said to him, “I think the people disliked what you had said.” He said, “These people do not
understand anything, although my friend told me.” I asked, “Who is your friend?” He said, “The
Prophet said (to me), ‘O Abu Dhar! Do you see the mountain of Uhud?’ And on that I (Abu Dhar)
started looking towards the sun to judge how much remained of the day as I thought that Allah’s
Apostle wanted to send me to do something for him and I said, ‘Yes!’ He said, ‘I do not love to have
gold equal to the mountain of Uhud unless I spend it all (in Allah’s cause) except three Dinars
(pounds). These people do not understand and collect worldly wealth. No, by Allah, Neither I ask
them for worldly benefits nor am I in need of their religious advice till I meet Allah, The Honorable,
The Majestic.” ‘

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 2 > BOOK 24: OBLIGATORY CHARITY TAX (ZAKAT)
I heard the Prophet saying, “There is no envy except in two: a person whom Allah has given wealth
and he spends it in the right way, and a person whom Allah has given wisdom (i.e. religious know –
ledge) and he gives his decisions accordingly and teaches it to the others.”
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 491:
Narrated Abu Huraira
Allah’s Apostle said, “If one give in charity what equals one date-fruit fro the honestly-earned
money and Allah accepts only the honestly earned money –Allah takes it in His right (hand) ar then
enlarges its reward for that person (who has given it), as anyone of you brings up his baby horse, so
much s that it becomes as big as a mountain
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 492:
Narrated Haritha bin Wahab:
I heard the Prophet saying, “O people! Give in charity as a time will come upon you when a person
will wander about with his object of charity and will not find anybody to accept it, and one (who
will be requested to take it) will say, “If you had brought it yesterday, would have taken it, but to-day
I am not in need of it.”
