Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak reported: Al-Muzaffar ibn Mudrik, Abu Kamil, narrated to us: Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us: I took this document from Thumamah ibn Abdullah ibn Anas ibn Malik, from Anas ibn Malik, that Abu Bakr wrote for them: These are the prescribed alms that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prescribed for the Muslims, as Allah, Mighty and Majestic, commanded His Messenger ﷺ. Whoever among the Muslims is asked for them according to their due should give them; whoever is asked for more than that should not give more. For fewer than twenty-five camels, one sheep is due for every five camels. At twenty-five, a one-year-old female camel (bint makhad) is due, up to thirty-five; if no bint makhad is available, then a male camel in its second year (ibn labun). At thirty-six, a female camel in its second year (bint labun) is due, up to forty-five. At forty-six, a three-year-old female camel (hiqqah), ready to be covered by a breeding male, is due, up to sixty. At sixty-one, a four-year-old female camel (jadha ah) is due, up to seventy-five. At seventy-six, two bint labun are due, up to ninety. At ninety-one, two hiqqah, ready to be covered by a breeding male, are due, up to one hundred and twenty. Above one hundred and twenty, one bint labun is due for every forty, and one hiqqah for every fifty.
When the required ages of camels differ in the alms schedule: if a person owes a jadha ah but does not have one and has a hiqqah, the hiqqah is accepted from him, along with two sheep if readily available or twenty dirhams. If a person owes a hiqqah but does not have one and has a jadha ah, it is accepted from him, and the collector gives him twenty dirhams or two sheep if readily available. If a person owes a hiqqah but does not have one and has a bint labun, it is accepted from him, along with two sheep if readily available or twenty dirhams. If a person owes a bint labun but does not have one and has a hiqqah, it is accepted from him, and the collector gives him twenty dirhams or two sheep. If a person owes a bint labun but does not have one and has a bint makhad, it is accepted from him, along with two sheep if readily available or twenty dirhams. If a person owes a bint makhad but has only a male ibn labun, it is accepted from him with nothing additional. Whoever has only four camels owes nothing, unless their owner chooses to give.
For the alms on freely grazing sheep: at forty, one sheep is due, up to one hundred and twenty. If the flock increases by one, two sheep are due, up to two hundred. If it increases by one more, three sheep are due, up to three hundred. Above that, one sheep is due for every hundred. No old or defective sheep, nor a male goat from the flock, is to be taken as alms unless the collector chooses. Separate flocks are not to be combined, nor a combined flock divided, to avoid the alms. Two partners in a jointly held flock settle the due between themselves in proportion to their shares. If a man has a freely grazing flock of thirty-nine sheep, nothing is due unless he chooses to give. On silver, one quarter of one tenth is due; if a person has only one hundred and ninety dirhams, nothing is due unless the owner chooses to give.
Translation notes
The source is a written schedule attributed to Abu Bakr, transmitted through Hammad ibn Salamah from a document he received from Thumamah ibn Abdullah. Livestock age terms are retained alongside English descriptions. The adjustments specify when two sheep or twenty dirhams accompany a substituted camel, and whether the collector gives or receives that adjustment.
