The narrator says: I heard him saying that I have been instructed: "I should not take any animal that is giving milk, and (while collecting zakat) separate property should not be combined, nor should combined property be separated."

Sayyiduna Suwaid bin Ghaflah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A person who was a collector of zakat on behalf of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) came to us. The narrator says: I read in his written instructions that: "Separate wealth should not be combined, nor should combined wealth be separated, in order to avoid (paying or collecting) zakat." The narrator says: Then after that, a man came to him with a large she-camel, which was very beautiful and healthy, but he refused to accept the she-camel. He said: "If I take this from a Muslim's wealth, then what will I do in the presence of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)?"

Ata reports: Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) was wearing a gold necklace. She asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) about it.

One of the narrators of this narration, Abu Bakr Hadhli, is abandoned, and no one else has narrated this narration except him.
