Salim bin Abdullah narrates from his father: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) prescribed the payment of one-tenth (ushr) from the produce irrigated by rain, rivers, or springs, and for that which is irrigated artificially, half of one-tenth is obligatory.

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prescribed one-tenth (ushr) on land that does not require irrigation (other than rain), and on land irrigated by rain, rivers, and springs. And on land irrigated by well water, he prescribed one-twentieth.

A narrator named Abu Bakr has reported this: Shaykh Rabi’ states: I heard Imam Shafi’i saying, the word“al-ba’l”used in the narration refers to that whose roots reach the water.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates this statement from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): "On land that is irrigated by rain, canal, or spring, payment of one-tenth (ushr) is obligatory, and on land that is irrigated by bucket (i.e., by artificial means), payment of half of one-tenth (half-ushr) is obligatory."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wrote a letter to the people of Yemen. In this letter, he wrote to Harith Abdul Kallal and his other companions residing in Yemen, who belonged to Ma’afir and Hamdan:“Zakat on the produce of the land will be obligatory. From the land irrigated by springs and rainwater, payment of one-tenth will be obligatory, and from the land irrigated by buckets (i.e., by artificial means), payment of one-twentieth will be obligatory.”

Abu Zubair reports: He heard mentioning Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them), that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "For land irrigated by a river or a spring, payment of one-tenth is obligatory, and for land irrigated by a waterwheel, payment of half of one-tenth is obligatory."

Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from his father: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the command regarding zakat, so a man brought unripe dates. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) inquired: "Who has brought this?" (The narrator states) Whatever a person would bring, that thing would be attributed to the person who brought it. So regarding this, the following verse was revealed: "And do not intend to spend the inferior of it." The narrator states: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the acceptance of Ja‘rur and Lawn al-Muhbiq in zakat. Imam Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) states: These are two specific types of dates from Madinah Munawwarah. In the narration, the narrator named Yusuf (may Allah have mercy on him) has reported one word differently.

This narration is also transmitted with another chain of transmission.

Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from his father: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade (accepting as zakat) two types of dates: Ja‘rur and Lawn Ahbiq. The narrator states: Some people would deliberately bring their inferior fruit to give as zakat, so they were prohibited from giving these two types of dates. Regarding this, the following verse was revealed: "And do not intend to spend the inferior thereof." This narration is also transmitted with some other chains. Some have narrated it as a connected (mawsool) narration, and some have narrated it as a mursal narration.

Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Some people used to give bad fruit from their produce as zakat, so the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade taking or giving two types of dates as zakat. After that, he narrated the previous hadith as before. Some narrators have also transmitted this narration as a mursal narration.
