Obligations of Wealthy People Aside From Zakat

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) was asked about Zakat and he responded by reciting a verse from the Quran which implies that there is an obligation on wealthy people aside from Zakat.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مَدُّويَهْ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ شَرِيكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَتْ سَأَلْتُ أَوْ سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ عَنِ الزَّكَاةِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ فِي الْمَالِ لَحَقًّا سِوَى الزَّكَاةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ تَلاَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ الَّتِي فِي الْبَقَرَةِ ‏(‏ لَيْسَ الْبِرَّ أَنْ تُوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ ‏)‏ الآيَةَ
