Volume 2, Book 24, Number 577:
Narrated Anas:
Some people from ‘Uraina tribe came to Medina and its climate did not suit them, so Allah’s
Apostle (p.b.u.h) allowed them to go to the herd of camels (given as Zakat) and they drank their milk
and urine (as medicine) but they killed the shepherd and drove away all the camels. So Allah’s
Apostle sent (men) in their pursuit to catch them, and they were brought, and he had their hands
and feet cut, and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron and they were left in the Harra
(a stony place at Medina) biting the stones. (See Hadith No. 234, Vol. 1)
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 534:
Narrated Anas:
When Abu Bakr; sent me to (collect the Zakat from) Bahrein, he wrote to me the following:– (In
the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful). These are the orders for compulsory charity (Zakat)
which Allah’s Apostle had made obligatory for every Muslim, and which Allah had ordered His
Apostle to observe: Whoever amongst the Muslims is asked to pay Zakat accordingly, he should pay
it (to the Zakat collector) and whoever is asked more than that (what is specified in this script) he
should not pay it; for twenty-four camels or less, sheep are to be paid as Zakat; for every five camels
one sheep is to be paid, and if there are between twenty-five to thirty-five camels, one Bint Makhad
is to be paid; and if they are between thirty-six to forty-five (camels), one Bint Labun is to be paid;
and if they are between forty-six to sixty (camels), one Hiqqa is to be paid; and if the number is
between sixty-one to seventy-five (camels), one Jadh’a is to be paid; and if the number is between
seventy-six to ninety (camels), two Bint Labuns are to be paid; and if they are from ninety-one to
one-hundred-and twenty (camels), two Hiqqas are to be paid; and if they are over one-hundred
and-twenty (camels), for every forty (over one-hundred-and-twenty) one Bint Labun is to be paid,
and for every fifty camels (over one-hundred-and-twenty) one Hiqqa is to be paid; and who ever
has got only four camels, has to pay nothing as Zakat, but if the owner of these four camels wants to
give something, he can. If the number of camels increases to five, the owner has to pay one sheep as
Zakat. As regards the Zakat for the (flock) of sheep; if they are between forty and one-hundred-and-
twenty sheep, one sheep is to be paid; and if they are between one-hundred-and-twenty to two hun –
dred (sheep), two sheep are to be paid; and if they are between two-hundred to three-hundred
(sheep), three sheep are to be paid; and for over three-hundred sheep, for every extra hundred
sheep, one sheep is to be paid as Zakat. And if somebody has got less than forty sheep, no Zakat is re –
quired, but if he wants to give, he can. For silver the Zakat is one-fortieth of the lot (i.e. 2.5%), and if
its value is less than two-hundred Dirhams, Zakat is not required, but if the owner wants to pay he
can.’
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 535:
Narrated Anas:
Abu Bakr wrote to me what Allah had ordered His Apostle (about Zakat) which goes: Neither an
old nor a defected animal, nor a male-goat may be taken as Zakat except if the Zakat collector
wishes (to take it).

Narrated Anas:
Abu Bakr wrote to me what Allah had instructed His Apostle (p.b.u.h) to do regarding the one who
had to pay one Bint Makhad (i.e. one year-old she-camel) as Zakat, and he did not have it but had
got Bint Labun (two year old she-camel). (He wrote that) it could be accepted from him as Zakat, and
the collector of Zakat would return him 20 Dirhams or two sheep; and if the Zakat payer had not a
Bint Makhad, but he had Ibn Labun (a two year old he-camel) then it could be accepted as his Zakat,
but he would not be paid anything .
