Mishkat al-Masabih
Mishkat al-Masabih 1813
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَيْسَ فِي الْخَضْرَاوَاتِ صَدَقَةٌ وَلَا فِي الْعَرَايَا صَدَقَةٌ وَلَا فِي أَقَلَّ مِنْ خَمْسَةِ أَوْسُقٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَلَا فِي الْعَوَامِلِ صَدَقَةٌ وَلَا فِي الْجَبْهَةِ صَدَقَةٌ» . قَالَ الصَّقْرُ: الْجَبْهَةُ الْخَيل وَالْبِغَال وَالْعَبِيد. رَوَاهُ الدَّارَقُطْنِيّ
Ali reported that the Prophet ﷺ said: ‘There are no alms on vegetables, on ʿaraya, on less than five wasqs, on working animals, or on al-jabha.’ Al-Saqr said: ‘Al-jabha is horses, mules, and slaves.’ Al-Daraqutni transmitted it.
Translation notes
The English witness explains ʿaraya as palm trees whose fruit is granted for a year, and says al-jabha is usually used for the best kind of horses. Those explanations do not appear in the Arabic source text.
