Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) became the Caliph, he had this document written for me: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful." These are the rulings of the obligation of Zakat which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) made obligatory upon the Muslims, and Allah Almighty commanded His Messenger regarding them. Then the narrators narrated the complete hadith, and these words were also narrated: Animals should not be gathered together out of fear of Zakat, nor should gathered animals be separated, and both partners will be equally involved in the collection of Zakat.
