Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) to collect zakat. When he returned, he complained about Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: He did not pay his zakat to me. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Umar! Do you not know that a man's uncle is in the place of his father? Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) had already paid two years' zakat together in advance." The narrator has transmitted the name of another narrator as Ubaydullah bin Umar, but what he meant was that this narration is transmitted from Muhammad bin Ubaydullah; and Allah knows best.

Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) to collect zakat, and during this, there was some dispute with Sayyiduna ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him). So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Do you not know that a man’s uncle is in the place of his father? Sayyiduna ‘Abbas has already given us the zakat of this year in advance last year.”

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Protect yourselves from Hell, even if it be with a piece of a date, for it serves as a barrier for the hungry just as it does for the one who is satiated."

Sayyida Fatimah bint Qays (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is a right in wealth other than zakat." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "Righteousness is not that you turn your faces towards the east or the west." This verse is until its end.

This narration is also transmitted with another chain of transmission.

Abu Amr bin Hamaas narrates from his father: I used to sell oil and quivers. Once, Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by me and said: "Pay the zakat on your goods." I said: "O Commander of the Faithful! It is in oil." He said: "Estimate its value, then pay its zakat."

Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father (Imam Muhammad al-Baqir, may Allah be pleased with him) the statement of Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): Regarding the horse, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "One dinar will be paid for one horse." In narrating this report from Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (may Allah have mercy on him), the narrator named Ghorak is unique, and he is very weak.

Harithah bin Mudarrib narrates: Some people from Egypt came to Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). They said: We have acquired some land and some slaves, and we wish to pay zakat on them. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I will not do what my two predecessors did not do, until I consult about this matter." Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) consulted the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this, and all of them approved it. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) remained silent. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Abu al-Hasan! Why are you not saying anything?" So Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The advice these gentlemen have given you is correct, but it is necessary that it should not be a tax that they would have to pay even after you." So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) collected ten dirhams for each slave and made it obligatory to provide two jarib of wheat as monthly food. For a horse, he collected ten dirhams and made it obligatory to provide ten jarib of barley as monthly food. For an ordinary horse, he collected eight dirhams and made it obligatory to provide eight jarib of barley as monthly food. For a mule, he collected five dirhams and made it obligatory to give five jarib of barley as monthly food. The narrator named Abu Ishaq says: In the time of Hajjaj, this was collected from us, but our share was not given to us. The Sheikh (Imam Daraqutni) says: "Muqarrif" is a horse that runs slower than a fast horse.

The narrator named Harithah reports: Some people from Syria came to the service of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). They said: We have acquired some wealth, which consists of horses and slaves. We wish that zakat be taken from these as well, so that they may be purified. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I will do something which my two predecessors did not do." Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) consulted the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), among whom was Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "This is fine, as long as it is not considered a jizya, which continues to be taken from them after you."

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have exempted you from (paying) zakat on horses and slaves, and zakat will not be obligatory on less than two hundred (dirhams)."
