Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father, from his grandfather, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them), narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) stood to deliver a sermon to the people, and he said: "Whoever becomes the guardian of an orphan who possesses wealth, then he should trade with that wealth for the orphan, and he should not leave it as it is so that zakat consumes it."

Amr bin Shu'aib narrates from his father, from his grandfather: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Safeguard the wealth of orphans, do not let zakat consume it."

Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father, narrates from his grandfather: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Zakat is obligatory on the wealth of an orphan."

Saeed bin Musayyib narrates: Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Take care of the wealth of orphans, let not zakat consume it."

Ibn Abu Rafi’ narrates: The wealth of those people was with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). When Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) returned the wealth to them, they found some deficiency in it. Then, when they calculated it along with the zakat, they found it complete. Those people came to the service of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), so Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said:“Did you think that whatever wealth was with me, I would not pay its zakat?”

The son of Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted some land to Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) as a gift. When Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sold that land for eighty thousand and entrusted the wealth to Sayyiduna ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) continued to pay its zakat. When the children of Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) took possession of that wealth, they counted their wealth and found it to be less. They came to Sayyiduna ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and informed him about this. Sayyiduna ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) asked:“Did you calculate its zakat?”They replied:“Yes!”The narrator states: When they calculated its zakat, they found it to be complete. Then Sayyiduna ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said:“You thought that I would have some wealth with me and I would not pay its zakat.”
