No Zakat on Small Amounts

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that Zakat is not imposed on less than five Awsuq of dates, five Awaq of silver, and five camels.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي صَعْصَعَةَ الْمَازِنِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسَةِ أَوْسُقٍ مِنَ التَّمْرِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَلَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ أَوَاقٍ مِنَ الْوَرِقِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَلَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ ذَوْدٍ مِنَ الإِبِلِ صَدَقَةٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the rules regarding the payment of zakat. According to this hadith, zakat is not required to be paid if one has less than 5 awsuq of dates, 5 awaq of silver or 5 camels. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that it is important to pay zakat when we have enough wealth but it is not necessary if we do not have enough wealth. This teaches us that we should be generous with our wealth and help those in need but also understand our own limitations so as to avoid financial hardship for ourselves.
