Sahih al-Bukhari 1483 (Book 24, Hadith 83) #1422
Compulsory Zakat on Yields from Irrigated Land

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught that on land irrigated by rain water, natural water channels, or a nearby water channel, one-tenth of the yield is compulsory as Zakat. On land irrigated by a well, one-twentieth of the yield is compulsory as Zakat.

Narrated Salim bin 'Abdullah from his father: 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 (ie one-tenth) is compulsory (as Zakat); and on the land irrigated by the well, half of an Ushr (ie one-twentieth) is compulsory (as Zakat on the yield of the land)".
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ فِيمَا سَقَتِ السَّمَاءُ وَالْعُيُونُ أَوْ كَانَ عَثَرِيًّا الْعُشْرُ، وَمَا سُقِيَ بِالنَّضْحِ نِصْفُ الْعُشْرِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ هَذَا تَفْسِيرُ الأَوَّلِ لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُوَقِّتْ فِي الأَوَّلِ ـ يَعْنِي حَدِيثَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ وَفِيمَا سَقَتِ السَّمَاءُ الْعُشْرُ وَبَيَّنَ فِي هَذَا وَوَقَّتَ، وَالزِّيَادَةُ مَقْبُولَةٌ، وَالْمُفَسَّرُ يَقْضِي عَلَى الْمُبْهَمِ إِذَا رَوَاهُ أَهْلُ الثَّبَتِ، كَمَا رَوَى الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ لَمْ يُصَلِّ فِي الْكَعْبَةِ‏.‏ وَقَالَ بِلاَلٌ قَدْ صَلَّى‏.‏ فَأُخِذَ بِقَوْلِ بِلاَلٍ وَتُرِكَ قَوْلُ الْفَضْلِ‏.‏
