(Book 17, Hadith 21) #35650
What is Kanz?

SUMMARY: Wealth on which zakat has not been paid is known as kanz.

Yahya related to me from Malik that Abdullah ibn Dinar said, "I heard Abdullah ibn Umar being asked what kanz was and he said, 'It is wealth on which zakat has not been paid'. "
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، وَهُوَ يُسْأَلُ عَنِ الْكَنْزِ، مَا هُوَ فَقَالَ هُوَ الْمَالُ الَّذِي لاَ تُؤَدَّى مِنْهُ الزَّكَاةُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the concept of kanz, which refers to wealth that has not yet been subject to zakat. Zakat is a form of charity in Islam and it requires Muslims to give a portion of their wealth each year to those in need. The hadith also shows us the importance of seeking knowledge and understanding from those who are more knowledgeable than us. It also teaches us that we should be generous with our wealth and share it with others who are less fortunate than ourselves.
