Zakat Kay Masayel

Sayings of Prophet Muhammad
may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him

Zakah & Sadaqah

Allah (The Glorified and the Exalted) loves the pious rich
It is related by Hadrat Sa'ad (may Allah be pleased with him) that Allah's Messenger (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) said: "Allah (The Glorified and the Exalted) loves the pious rich man, who (in spite of his piety and wealth) is obscure and unknown to fame." (Muslim)
The Reward of Generosity
Hadrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) as saying, "The generous man is near Allah, near paradise, near men and far from hell, but the miserly man is far from Allah, far from paradise, far from men and near hell. Indeed, an ignorant man who is generous is dearer to Allah than a worshipper who is miserly." (Tirmidhi)
Miserliness condemned
Hadrat Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) as saying, "There are two characteristics which are not combined in a believer: miserliness and a bad disposition." (Tirmidhi)
Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) as saying, "A crafty one, a miser, and one who keeps reminding people of what he has given will not enter paradise." (Tirmidhi)
Fight those who refuse to pay Zakah
Hadrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) said that when Sayyidina Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was made the Prophet's successor after his death and infidelity arose among certain Arabs, Sayyidina 'Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) asked Sayyidina Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) how he could fight with the people when Allah's Messenger (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) had said, "I have been commanded to fight with the people till they say there is no god but Allah, so whoever says so has protected his property and his person from me except for what is due from him, and his reckoning is left to Allah". Sayyidina Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "I swear by Allah that I will certainly fight those who made a distinction between prayer and zakah, for the zakah is what is due from property. I swear by Allah (The Glorified and the Exalted) that if they were to refuse me a female kid which they used to pay to Allah's Messenger (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) I would fight with them over the refusal of it. " Sayyidina 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) then said, "I swear by Allah (The Glorified and the Exalted) that I clearly saw Allah had made Sayyidina Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) feel justified in fighting, and I recognized that it was right."'(Bukhari and Muslim)
Zakah to be given annually
Hadrat Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) as saying, "He who acquires property is not liable for zakah on it till a year passes." (Tirmidhi)
Nisab for Zakah
Hadrat Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) as saying, "No sadaqa is payable on less than five camel-loads (wasq) of dates, on less than five ounces of silver, and on less than five camels." (Bukhari and Muslim)
Rate of Zakah payment
Hadrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said that when the Prophet (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) sent him to Yemen he ordered him to take a male or female calf of a year old for every thirty cattle and a cow in its third year for every forty. (Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, an-Nasai and Darimi)
Hadrat 'Abdallah bin 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported the Prophet (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) as saying, "A tenth is payable on what is watered by rain or wells, or from underground moisture, and a twentieth on what is watered by draught camels." (Bukhari)
