(Book 17, Hadith 5) #35634
Paying Zakat on Property

SUMMARY: Uthman ibn Affan would ask A'isha bint Qudama's father if he had any property on which zakat was due, and if so, he would deduct the zakat from his allowance.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Urwa ibn Husayn from A'isha bint Qudama that her father said, "When I used to come to Uthman ibn Affan to collect my allowance he would ask me, 'Do you have any property on which zakat is due? 'If I said, 'Yes,' he would deduct the zakat on that property from my allowance, and if I said, 'No,' he would pay me my allowance (in full)".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ قُدَامَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهَا، أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏:‏ كُنْتُ إِذَا جِئْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ أَقْبِضُ عَطَائِي سَأَلَنِي ‏:‏ هَلْ عِنْدَكَ مِنْ مَالٍ وَجَبَتْ عَلَيْكَ فِيهِ الزَّكَاةُ قَالَ فَإِنْ قُلْتُ ‏:‏ نَعَمْ أَخَذَ مِنْ عَطَائِي زَكَاةَ ذَلِكَ الْمَالِ، وَإِنْ قُلْتُ ‏:‏ لاَ، دَفَعَ إِلَىَّ عَطَائِي

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of paying zakat on one's property. Uthman ibn Affan was a companion of Prophet Muhammad and a caliph who ruled over the Islamic empire after him. He asked A'isha bint Qudama's father if he had any property on which zakat was due, and if so, he would deduct the zakat from his allowance. This shows that it is important for Muslims to pay their dues in order to be good stewards of their wealth and resources. It also teaches us that we should be honest when dealing with others, as Uthman ibn Affan trusted A'isha bint Qudama's father enough to ask him directly about his financial situation without fear of dishonesty or deception.
