Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "There is no zakat on less than five uqiyah (of silver), no zakat on less than five camels, and no zakat on less than five wasq (of grain)."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Zakat is not obligatory on a Muslim’s horse and slave.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the collection of Zakat. Then it was said to him that Ibn Jameel, Khalid bin Walid, and Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib have refused to give Zakat. Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Ibn Jameel does not show gratitude; until yesterday he was poor, then Allah made him wealthy through the blessing of the supplication of His Messenger. As for Khalid, you are wronging him; he has dedicated his armors in the way of Allah. And as for Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib, he is the uncle of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and his Zakat is upon me, and the same amount is to be given to him from my side.

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made the Zakat of Fitr obligatory upon every Muslim, free or slave, male or female, one sa’ of dates or barley.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the giving of Zakat al-Fitr as one sa’ of dates or one sa’ of barley. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that later people made it two mudd (half a sa’) of wheat, equal to that.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said that we used to give one sa' of grain or wheat or one sa' of barley or one sa' of dates or one sa' of cheese or one sa' of raisins (dried grapes or figs) as Zakat al-Fitr.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), Sadaqat al-Fitr was given as one sa' of wheat, or one sa' of dates, or one sa' of barley, or one sa' of raisins (dried grapes or dried figs). Then when Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Madinah and wheat became available, he said: I think that one mudd of this (wheat) is equivalent to two mudd of the other grains.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There are three types of people who own horses. For some, they are a source of reward; for some, they are merely a means of covering needs; and for some, they are a burden. The one for whom the horse is a source of reward is the person who keeps it with the intention of striving in the path of Allah. Then, wherever there is abundant pasture, or (he said) in some lush place, he ties its rope long so that it can graze all around. So whatever the horse eats or drinks while tied with its rope in that pasture or lush place, the owner receives good deeds because of it. And if the horse breaks its rope and runs a furlong or two, then even in its dung and the marks of its hooves, there are good deeds for the owner. And if the horse passes by a canal and drinks water from it, even if the owner did not intend to give it water, still he receives good deeds from it. The second person is the one who keeps the horse for pride, showing off, and enmity towards the Muslims; for him, it is a burden. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about donkeys, so he said: Nothing has been revealed to me regarding them except this comprehensive and unique verse: Whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.

Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) while he was sitting in the shade of the Ka'bah and saying, "By the Lord of the Ka'bah, they are the most ruined ones! By the Lord of the Ka'bah, they are the most ruined ones!" I said, "O Messenger of Allah! What is my condition? Have you seen anything (bad) in me? What is my condition?" Then I sat down beside the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) kept on saying this. I could not make him stop, and by Allah's will, a strange restlessness overtook me. I again said, "May my parents be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah! Who are they?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "They are those who have much wealth, except those who spend it like this and like that (i.e., generously on the right and the left, on the deserving, in the way of Allah)."

Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I came close to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and he was saying: "By Him in Whose hand is my soul," or (he swore) "By Him besides Whom there is no deity," or with whatever words he swore (after this emphasis he said): "There is no person who has camels, cows, or goats and does not pay their due right, but on the Day of Resurrection that (animal) will be brought, made larger and fatter than in the world, then it will trample its owner with its hooves and gore him with its horns. When the last animal passes over him, the first will return to him (and trample and gore him again). This will continue until the people's judgment is settled."
