Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) became the Caliph, he appointed me as the governor of Bahrain and wrote for me this document:“In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. These are the rulings of the obligation of Zakat which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made obligatory upon the Muslims, and Allah Almighty commanded His Messenger regarding them. Therefore, any Muslim from whom Zakat is demanded according to these rulings should pay it, and whoever is asked for more than this should not pay it. For twenty-four camels or less, for every five camels, one goat is obligatory as Zakat. Then, when the number reaches twenty-five up to thirty-five camels, a one-year-old she-camel is obligatory as Zakat, but if there is no one-year-old she-camel among them, then a two-year-old male camel should be given. Then, when the number of camels reaches thirty-six up to forty-five, a two-year-old she-camel is obligatory, and when the camels are forty-six up to sixty, a three-year-old she-camel is obligatory, which is capable of mating with a male camel. And when the number reaches sixty-one up to seventy-five camels, a four-year-old she-camel is obligatory as Zakat. Then, when the number reaches seventy-six up to ninety, two-year-old she-camels are obligatory. Then, when the number reaches ninety-one up to one hundred and twenty, two three-year-old she-camels are obligatory, which are capable of mating with a male camel. Then, when the number exceeds one hundred and twenty camels, for every forty camels, one two-year-old she-camel is obligatory as Zakat, and for every fifty camels, one three-year-old she-camel is obligatory. And whoever owns only four camels, there is no Zakat obligatory on them, unless the owner gives something voluntarily. When the number reaches five camels, one goat is obligatory as Zakat. For grazing goats, from forty up to one hundred and twenty, one goat is obligatory as Zakat, and when they exceed one hundred and twenty up to two hundred, two goats are obligatory, and when they exceed two hundred up to three hundred, three goats are obligatory, and when the number exceeds three hundred, then for every hundred, one goat is obligatory as Zakat. And when someone’s grazing goats are even one less than forty, there is no Zakat on them, unless the owner gives something voluntarily. Then the complete hadith was narrated. This is the narration of Janab Bundar. He says that Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says:“When a she-camel gives birth and completes one year of age and the offspring enters the second year, if it is male, it is called Ibn Makhad, and if it is female, it is called Bint Makhad, because after giving birth, the she-camel does not approach the male camel for mating for one year. Then, after completing one year, she goes to the male camel for mating, and when the male camel mates with her, she is considered Makhad. Such she-camels that are pregnant and are also mothers are called Mawakhid. Makhad is the she-camel in whose womb the offspring moves. Therefore, her (first) male offspring is called Ibn Makhad, and the female offspring is called Bint Makhad. In this way, the she-camel remains pregnant in the second year. Then, when she gives birth, her son is called Ibn Labun and her daughter is called Bint Labun, when the offspring has completed two years and enters the third year. Then, when the offspring completes the third year and enters the fourth year, it is called Hiqqah, and it is called Hiqqah because if it is female, at this age she becomes capable of mating with a male and of carrying loads, and if it is male, it also becomes suitable for riding and carrying loads. Before this age, it is referred to in relation to its mother. Therefore, when the camel completes one year and enters the second year, it is called Ibn Makhad because its mother is called Makhad, and when it is two years old and enters the third year, it is called Ibn Labun because its mother, after giving birth to the second offspring, becomes Labun (i.e., her udders fill with milk), and it is called Hiqqah for the above-mentioned reason, i.e., it becomes capable of carrying loads, etc. And when it completes four years and enters the fifth year, it is called Jadh’ah. Then, when it completes five years and enters the sixth year, it is called Thaniyy. And when the sixth year passes and it enters the seventh year, it is called Raba’ and the female is called Raba’iyyah. In the seventh year, this remains its name. Then, when it enters the eighth year, the teeth after the incisors fall out, and at that time it is called Sadees and Sudus. At this age, both male and female have the same name. Until the eighth year is completed, this remains its name. Then, when the eighth year passes and the ninth year begins, its canine teeth come out. At that time, it is called Bazil (canine-toothed camel). The female is also called Bazil. Until the ninth year passes, it is called Bazil, and when it enters the tenth year, it is called Mukhlif. After Mukhlif, it has no specific name, but it is called one-year Bazil, two-year Bazil, or one-year Mukhlif, two-year Mukhlif, etc. And when the camel becomes old, it is called ‘Awd, and the female is called ‘Awda, and when it becomes very old, it is called Qahar, while the female is called Thab and Sharif.”
