Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #26801

Mahmoud bin Ghaylan told us, Abu Dawud al-Tayalisi told us, Shu`bah told us, Khubayb bin Abdul Rahman told me, he said I heard Abdul Rahman bin Masoud bin Nayyar, saying: Sahl bin Abi Hathamah came to our meeting, and it happened that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, was saying “If you allot, then take and leave a third. If you do not leave a third, then leave a quarter.” He said, and in the chapter on the authority of Aisha and Attab bin Asid. And Ibn Abbas. Abu Issa said, and to act on the hadith of Sahl ibn Abi Hathamah, according to most of the people of knowledge regarding the matter and with the hadith of Sahl. Build Abu Hathmah says Ahmad and Ishaq. And the Kharis: When the fruits of dates and grapes are ripened on which zakat is due, the Sultan sends a Kharis. He slanders them. And scorn is when someone sees that and says: From this comes such-and-such raisins and such-and-such and such-and-such dates. Then the census will be taken from them and the amount of the tithe will be determined from that and it will be fixed upon them, then they will be left with the fruits and they will do what they like. Then behold, When the fruits were harvested, the tenth was taken from them. This is how some people of knowledge interpreted it, and this is what Malik, Al-Shafi’i, Ahmad, and Ishaq say. .
