Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Muhammad ibn Bashshar told us: Abd al-Wahhab al-Thaqafi told us: Ayyub told us, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, who said: Whoever acquires wealth, no zakah is due on it until a year has passed while it is in his possession. Abu Isa said: This is sounder than the hadith of Abd al-Rahman ibn Zayd ibn Aslam. Ayyub, Ubaydullah ibn Umar, and more than one other narrator narrated it from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, as a statement of Ibn Umar. Abd al-Rahman ibn Zayd ibn Aslam is weak in hadith; Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Ali ibn al-Madini, and other hadith scholars considered him weak, and he makes many mistakes. It is narrated from more than one Companion of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that no zakah is due on newly acquired wealth until a year has passed. This is the view of Malik ibn Anas, al-Shafii, Ahmad, and Ishaq. Some scholars said that if a person already has wealth on which zakah is due, zakah is due on newly acquired wealth too. If he has no such wealth other than the newly acquired amount, zakah is not due on it until a year has passed. If he acquires wealth before the year on his existing wealth is complete, he pays zakah on the new wealth together with the wealth already subject to zakah. This is the view of Sufyan al-Thawri and the scholars of Kufa.
