Sayyiduna Ziyad bin Harith Suda'i (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I presented myself before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at a time when he was about to send an army towards my tribe. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Please hold back your army, I guarantee you that these people will accept Islam and will also show obedience. I will write a letter to my tribe, and they will come accepting Islam and showing obedience." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "O man from the tribe of Suda', whose people obey him!" The narrator says: I said, "No! Rather, Allah Almighty has bestowed His favor upon these people and has granted them guidance." The narrator states: Then a man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him for zakat money. So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "Allah Almighty is not pleased with the decision of any Prophet or any other person regarding zakat until that person distributes the zakat into eight categories. If you are eligible for any of these categories, I will give it to you."

Sayyiduna Haritha bin Mudarrib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Some people from Syria came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him).

So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I will do as my two masters have done." The narrator named Ishaq has reported these words: "I will do as those before me have done." Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) consulted the people about this matter, and among those he consulted was Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: "This is correct, as long as it is not made into a jizya that will continue to be collected after you." The narrator named Ishaq has reported these words: "As long as it is not arranged in such a way that those after you will also collect it (then it is correct)." (The narrator says) So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) made it obligatory to pay one dinar for each horse.

Asim bin Damrah narrates: Some people from Syria came bringing horses and slaves, and they said to Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him): "You should collect zakat from them."

So accept the pardon granted by Allah. Allah does not forget anything.”Then he recited this verse:“And your Lord is not forgetful.”
