and livestock. Mālik adopted this view.

Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr said: “There is consensus that zakat is due on the things mentioned.” Imām Abū Bakr ibn al-Mundhir al-Naysābūrī said: “The scholars unanimously agree that zakat is obligatory on nine things: camels, cattle, sheep and goats, gold, silver, wheat, barley, dates, and raisins, provided that each category reaches the minimum amount on which zakat is due.”

The two Sahīhs report from Abū Sa‘īd al-Khudrī that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:

“No zakat is due on less than five wasqs, on fewer than five camels, or on less than five ūqiyyahs.” He indicated five with his fingers.

Another wording reads:

“No zakat is due on less than five wasqs of dates or grain.”

Another version has thamar (fruit), with the three-dotted letter thā’. Yet another wording reads:

“No zakat is due on less than five ūqiyyahs of silver.”

Muslim also narrated it from Jābir. Muslim further narrated from Jābir that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:

“One-tenth is due on what is watered by rivers and rain clouds, and half of one-tenth on what is irrigated using a water-drawing animal.”

Al-Bukhārī narrated it from Ibn ‘Umar with the wording:

“One-tenth is due on what is watered by rain and springs, or is watered naturally, and half of one-tenth on what is irrigated by drawing water.”

The Muwatta’ has the wording “springs and al-ba‘l.” Al-ba‘l is vegetation that draws water through its roots and spreads through the ground
