Sunan Abi Dawud 1580 (Book 9, Hadith 25) #21872
Fear of Zakat in Goods

SUMMARY: The collector of the Prophet came to Suwaid bin Ghaflah and read a document that stated goods should not be combined or separated for fear of zakat, but there was no mention of milch animals.

Suwaid bin Ghaflah reported The collector of the Prophet came to us. I caught hold of his hand and read in the document that the goods were not to be combined nor were they to be separated for fear of zakat. There is no mention of milch animals in this tradition.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّازُ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي لَيْلَى الْكِنْدِيِّ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ، قَالَ أَتَانَا مُصَدِّقُ النَّبِيِّ فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ وَقَرَأْتُ فِي عَهْدِهِ ‏"‏ لاَ يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَ مُفْتَرِقٍ وَلاَ يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَ مُجْتَمِعٍ خَشْيَةَ الصَّدَقَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ ‏"‏ رَاضِعَ لَبَنٍ
