(Book 17, Hadith 2) #35631
No Zakat on Small Amounts

SUMMARY: There is no zakat to be paid on less than five awsuq of dates, five awaq of silver, and five camels.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abd arRahman ibn Abi Sasaca al-Ansari from al-Mazini from his father from Abu Said al-Khudri that: the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "There is no zakat on less than five awsuq of dates, there is no zakat on less than five awaq of silver and there is no zakat on less than five camels".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي صَعْصَعَةَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، ثُمَّ الْمَازِنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏ "‏ لَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسَةِ أَوْسُقٍ مِنَ التَّمْرِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَلَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ أَوَاقِيَّ مِنَ الْوَرِقِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَلَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ ذَوْدٍ مِنَ الإِبِلِ صَدَقَةٌ

Paying zakat when required

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith states that there is no zakat to be paid on small amounts of dates, silver, and camels. This means that if a person has less than the specified amount then they do not have to pay any zakat for it. This hadith teaches us the importance of being generous with our wealth and possessions even if it is a small amount as Allah will reward us for it in this life or the hereafter. It also teaches us about being mindful of our spending and not wasting money unnecessarily as we are accountable for all our actions in front of Allah.
