Abu Bishr Bakr ibn Khalaf narrated to us; Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi narrated to us; Sulayman ibn Kathir narrated to us; Ibn Shihab narrated to us, from Salim ibn Abdullah, from his father, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: Salim read to me a document written by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) concerning the obligatory charities, before Allah caused him to die. I found in it: ‘For five camels, one sheep; for ten, two sheep; for fifteen, three sheep; and for twenty, four sheep. For twenty-five camels, a bint makhad is due up to thirty-five. If no bint makhad is available, then a male ibn labun is due. If the herd exceeds thirty-five by one, a bint labun is due up to forty-five. If it exceeds forty-five by one, a hiqqah is due up to sixty. If it exceeds sixty by one, a jadha‘ah is due up to seventy-five. If it exceeds seventy-five by one, two bint labun are due up to ninety. If it exceeds ninety by one, two hiqqah are due up to one hundred and twenty. When the herd becomes larger, for every fifty camels a hiqqah is due, and for every forty a bint labun.’
