حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ إِنِّي قَدْ عَفَوْتُ لَكُمْ عَنْ صَدَقَةِ الْخَيْلِ وَالرَّقِيقِ وَلَكِنْ هَاتُوا رُبُعَ الْعُشُورِ مِنْ كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ دِرْهَمًا دِرْهَمًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Ali ibn Muhammad narrated to us; Waki‘ narrated to us, from Sufyan, from Abu Ishaq, from al-Harith, from Ali, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘I have waived for you the charity due on horses and enslaved persons. But bring one quarter of one-tenth for every forty dirhams: one dirham.’

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The rate is expressed as one quarter of one-tenth, followed by the source’s equivalence of one dirham per forty dirhams.
