Sunan Ibn Majah 1794 (Book 8, Hadith 12) #31146
Charity on Less Than Five Animals

SUMMARY: There is no charity to be given on less than five camels, five Awaq, or five Awsaq.

It was narrated from Jabir bin 'Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah said: "There is no Sadaqah on less than five camels; there is no Sadaqah on less than five Awaq; and there is no Sadaqah on less than five Awsaq".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ لَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ ذَوْدٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَلَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ أَوَاقٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَلَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسَةِ أَوْسَاقٍ صَدَقَةٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about charity and the importance of giving it. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that there should be no charity given on less than five camels, five awaq, or five awsaq. This means that if someone wants to give a charitable donation, they must give at least this amount in order for it to be accepted as a valid donation. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also taught us the importance of giving generously and helping those in need. By setting this minimum amount for donations, he was encouraging people to give more than just the bare minimum when they are able to do so. He wanted us to think beyond ourselves and help others who may not have as much as we do.

The values taught by this hadith include generosity and kindness towards others, especially those who are less fortunate than us. It also teaches us the importance of being mindful of our actions and how our decisions can affect other people’s lives positively or negatively. We should always strive to make sure that our actions benefit others in some way rather than just benefiting ourselves alone.
