Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The wound caused by an animal is pardoned, the blood of one who dies by falling into a well is pardoned, and there is a fifth (one-fifth zakat) in buried treasure.

Sayyiduna Uthman bin Abi al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the delegation of Banu Thaqif came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) accommodated them in the mosque so that their hearts might soften. They set a condition upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that they be exempted from jihad, ushr (tithe), and prayer, and that no ruler be appointed over them except from among themselves. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You are exempted from jihad and ushr, and no ruler will be appointed over you except from among yourselves, but there is no good in a religion in which there is no bowing (prayer).
