Jami at-Tirmidhi 626 (Book 7, Hadith 10) #26191
Obligation of Charity

SUMMARY: Charity is not obligatory on small amounts of camels, silver and grains.

Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri narrated that : the Prophet said: "There is no charity due on less than five camels, and there is no charity due on what is less than five Uqiyah (of silver), and there is no charity due on what is less than five Wasaq".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى الْمَازِنِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ ذَوْدٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَلَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ أَوَاقٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَلَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسَةِ أَوْسُقٍ صَدَقَةٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ وَجَابِرٍ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the obligation of charity in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that charity is not obligatory on small amounts of camels, silver and grains. He said that there is no charity due on less than five camels, no charity due on what is less than five Uqiyah (of silver) and no charity due on what is less than five Wasaq. This hadith teaches us to be generous with our wealth and to give in charity even if it's a small amount as it will be rewarded by Allah SWT. It also teaches us to be mindful about how much we are giving away in terms of money or goods so that we can fulfill our obligations towards others without overburdening ourselves financially or otherwise.
