Sahih Muslim 979e (Book 12, Hadith 5) #9635
Charity Not Required for Small Amounts

SUMMARY: Charity is not required for small amounts of dates or grains.

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allah's Messenger as saying: No Sadaqa is payable on less than five wasqs of dates or grains.
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُمَارَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسَةِ أَوْسَاقٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ وَلاَ حَبٍّ صَدَقَةٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that charity is not required for small amounts of dates or grains. The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said that no donation is necessary on less than five bushels of dates or cereals. This means that if someone has a smaller amount than five bushels, they do not need to give charity on it. However, if someone has more than five bushels then they should donate a portion of it as charity. This hadith teaches us the importance of giving back to those in need and encourages us to be generous with our resources even when we have little. It also reminds us that Allah will reward those who are charitable and generous with their wealth and resources.
