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.
