The Quran and Zakah Document

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that the only book that is read to people is the Quran and a document in the sheath of a sword which contains information about zakah.

It was narrated that Tariq - ie, bin Shihab - said: I heard ' Ali (رضي الله عنه) say: We do not have any book that we read to you except what is in the Qur'an and what is in this document - a document that was in the sheath of a sword that he was wearing, which had an adornment of iron. - I took it from the Messenger of Allah and in it are the rates of zakah.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ مُخَارِقٍ، عَنْ طَارِقٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ مَا عِنْدَنَا كِتَابٌ نَقْرَؤُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا مَا فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَمَا فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةِ صَحِيفَةٌ كَانَتْ فِي قِرَابِ سَيْفٍ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ حِلْيَتُهُ حَدِيدٌ أَخَذْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فِيهَا فَرَائِضُ الصَّدَقَةِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that there are two sources of knowledge for Muslims; the first source is from Allah's book - The Holy Quran. It is an important source of guidance for Muslims as it contains teachings from Allah himself. The second source of knowledge comes from a document found in the sheath of a sword which was owned by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This document contained information about zakah - one of the five pillars of Islam. Zakah is an obligatory charity given by Muslims to help those who are less fortunate than them. By giving zakah, Muslims can show their gratitude to Allah for all his blessings and help those who need it most. Thus this hadith teaches us to be grateful to Allah and also encourages us to give charity whenever we can so we can help others in need.
