The Prophet said, “On a land irrigated by rain water or by natural water channels or if the land is
wet due to a near by water channel Ushr (i.e. one-tenth) is compulsory (as Zakat); and on the land
irrigated by the well, half of an Ushr (i.e. one-twentieth) is compulsory (as Zakat on the yield of the
land).”

Narrated ‘Amr bin Al-Harith:
Zainab, the wife of ‘Abdullah said, “I was in the Mosque and saw the Prophet (p.b.u.h) saying, ‘O
women ! Give alms even from your ornaments.’ ” Zainab used to provide for ‘Abdullah and those
orphans who were under her protection. So she said to ‘Abdullah, “Will you ask Allah’s Apostle
whether it will be sufficient for me to spend part of the Zakat on you and the orphans who are under
my protection?” He replied “Will you yourself ask Allah’s Apostle ?” (Zainab added): So I went to the
Prophet and I saw there an Ansari woman who was standing at the door (of the Prophet ) with a
similar problem as mine. Bilal passed by us and we asked him, ‘Ask the Prophet whether it is per –
missible for me to spend (the Zakat) on my husband and the orphans under my protection.’ And we
requested Bilal not to inform the Prophet about us. So Bilal went inside and asked the Prophet re –
garding our problem. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) asked, “Who are those two?” Bilal replied that she was
Zainab. The Prophet said, “Which Zainab?” Bilal said, “The wife of ‘Adullah (bin Masud).” The Prophet
said, “Yes, (it is sufficient for her) and she will receive a double rewards (for that): One for helping
relatives, and the other for giving Zakat.”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 2 > BOOK 24: OBLIGATORY CHARITY TAX (ZAKAT)
(the daughter of Um Salama) My mother said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Shall I receive a reward if I
spend for the sustenance of Abu Salama’s offspring, and in fact they are also my sons?” The Prophet
replied, “Spend on them and you will get a reward for what you spend on them.”
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 562:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Dates used to be brought to Allah’s Apostle immediately after being plucked. Different persons
would bring their dates till a big heap collected (in front of the Prophet). Once Al-Hasan and Al-Hu –
sain were playing with these dates. One of them took a date and put it in his mouth. Allah’s Apostle
looked at him and took it out from his mouth and said, “Don’t you know that Muhammad’s offspring
do not eat what is given in charity?”
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 547:
Narrated Abu Huraira
Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) ordered (a person) to collect Zakat, and that person returned and told him
that Ibn Jamil, Khalid bin Al-Walid, and Abbas bin ‘Abdul Muttalib had refused to give Zakat.” The
Prophet said, “What made Ibn Jamll refuse to give Zakat though he was a poor man, and was made
wealthy by Allah and His Apostle ? But you are unfair in asking Zakat from Khalid as he is keeping
his armor for Allah’s Cause (for Jihad). As for Abbas bin ‘Abdul Muttalib, he is the uncle of Allah’s
Apostle (p.b.u.h) and Zakat is compulsory on him and he should pay it double.”
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 548:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Some Ansari persons asked for (something) from Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) and he gave them. They
again asked him for (something) and he again gave them. And then they asked him and he gave
them again till all that was with him finished. And then he said “If I had anything. I would not keep it
away from you. (Remember) Whoever abstains from asking others, Allah will make him contented,
and whoever tries to make himself self-sufficient, Allah will make him self-sufficient. And whoever
remains patient, Allah will make him patient. Nobody can be given a blessing better and greater than
patience.”
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 549:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “By Him in Whose Hand my life is, it is better for anyone of you to take a rope
and cut the wood (from the forest) and carry it over his back and sell it (as a means of earning his
living) rather than to ask a person for something and that person may give him or not.”
